NAMCO BANDAI Games today released further details about the forthcoming free downloadable update designed to improve the online game experience for players of Tekken 6 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation3. The update is scheduled for release on 26th November.

• Signal strength bars: the signal strength bar will reflect connection quality more accurately;


• Chance to cancel match: players will be able to cancel the match before it begins once the opponent's signal strength has been displayed on ranked matches.
