MultiVersuscontinues to lose players even after the release of Season 2. The new game published by Warner Bros. Interactive brought an attractive premise to fans of Warner Bros. properties, but the numbers indicate that not even thearrival of Marvin the Martian inMultiVersushas had a positive result.
MultiVersusis the new name in the fighting game world withSuper Smash Bros.-style platform battles and a cast of iconic characters. InMultiVersusplayers can play with names like Batman, Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny, and even the classic Iron Giant. In late OctoberMultiVersusplayers welcomed Black Adam, who got a movie version this year. Despite the crossover between so many popular properties,MultiVersusis seeing its positive momentum getting further and further away.

According to information from SteamDB,MultiVersushas now had its lowest peak in players. In July, whenMultiVersuswas released, the game registered a peak of 153,044 players, the highest number since then. In August the game felt the first drop with a peak of 139,095 players, which only got worse in September and October with peaks of 22,037 and 8,375 players respectively. In the last 30 days, SteamDB reports thatMultiVersus’peak player count is only at 4,709. These numbers are only valid for the PC version, so it’s unclear how the console versions of the game are doing. Perhapsa port ofMultiVersusfor Switchcould turn things around, but nothing to that effect has been announced at the time of this writing.
Season 2 ofMultiVersusadded Marvin the Martian, one of Bugs Bunny’s main enemies in theLooney TunesandMerrie Melodiescartoons. The newMultiVersuscontent also brought aGame of Thronesmap, which took players to the Iron Throne room, and a new battle pass. The battle pass released skins for Velma and Tom & Jerry.MultiVersusadded a Space Jam mapin Season 1 along with Rick, Morty, Gizmo, Stripe, and Black Adam as new playable characters.
Maintaining an active player base and growing the numbers is one of the main challenges of online multiplayer games, and withMultiVersusis no different. The game developed by Player First Games is still only a few months old, and there are several possibilities for content to explore. One example would be to finally end theabsence of Animaniacs inMultiVersus, being one of the most iconic character groups among all Warner Bros. properties.
MultiVersusis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
