• During the Street Fighter V crossover event, after Akuma and M. Bison were released, the music that played on the main menu was changed to that of Akuma's Street Fighter V theme. However, this only occurred on the mobile versions; the music did not change for the desktop versions of the game and was the same as when the Street Fighter V collaboration event started.
• Collaboration characters cannot participate in the Soul Quest once their respective collaboration event ended.
• At one point, Kusanagi was only playable as a randomly selected character in Dream Match until he was removed in a patch during the second Tekken 7 crossover event. He was eventually made playable in a later patch.
