Note: This news only applies to Maximum Tune 5DX+ machines connected to Namco’s North American network. It does not apply to the “International Version” that is found in parts like Australia/SouthEast Asia, nor Japan.

As one of the few arcade games connected to the internet, Maximum Tune 5DX+ comes with some perks, mainly in offering players a cloud account to track their progress & builds, while being able to challenge other users’ ghosts from around the world. Another perk, although this one happens with less frequency, is the ability for Bandai Namco to operate nationwide tournaments. They’ve done a few events since the game was released just as MT5 in 2017, but today’s announcement  is being billed as the first “Online Championship Match” for the 5DX+ upgrade.
