3. Run a quick offline match – Select versus mode vs CPU to test controls and performance.
4. Test online (if intended) – Go to Online > Ranked Match or Player Match to verify connectivity.
5. Verify DLC (if purchased) – Go to Character Select – any DLC characters (e.g., Geese Howard, Noctis, Negan) should appear. If missing, reinstall DLC from platform store.
6. Save file – Play a round – a save file should be created. On PC, saves are in `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Tekken 7\` (Steam cloud syncs by default).
