Today, 30th May 2025, MultiVersus is being delisted from digital stores and the servers are being switched off, putting an end to a very rocky road for the platform fighter.

Once the game is taken down, it will only be playable offline. If you want to have access to it, you’ll need to have logged in at least once during Season 5.

It’s a sad end to what was, at one point, an extremely popular free-to-play fighting game.

Launching in open beta in 2022, it grew so popular that its status as an open beta was practically forgotten, with developer Player First Games embracing the enthusiasm and updating it with cosmetic items, new characters, and so on.

However, it couldn’t keep up with player demand, and eventually, the studio ended the open beta phase after about a year in order to overhaul the game for a proper, full launch.

When it came back in May 2024, it never fully recovered, failing to make an impact in the same way it did the first time despite improvements pretty much across the board.

We always rather liked MultiVersus; while it had its issues, we were fans of its unusual but novel character roster, and the core action was lots of fun.

However you felt about the game, publisher Warner Bros. reported that it massively underperformed, so it was no real surprise when the announcement of its sunsetting came at the start of this year.
