Insider: MultiVersus is on the verge of shutting down: Warner Bros. fighting game lost 99% of its players

Feb 25,25

The future of MultiVersus hangs in the balance. Season 5, launching in early February, may be its last stand, according to industry insider AusilMV. Their source suggests this season is a final attempt to revive the game's flagging popularity. While currently just a rumor, the situation is undeniably precarious.

The game's initial launch in 2022 saw meteoric success, peaking at 153,000 concurrent Steam players. However, a dramatic 99% player drop followed swiftly, leading Warner Bros. Games to shut down the project in June 2023, controversially labeling it an "open beta test." A relaunch with updates occurred in May 2024, yet the game failed to recapture its initial momentum.

Season 5 represents a critical juncture. The developers' decision to frame the 2022 launch as a "beta," despite its initial popularity, and subsequent temporary shutdown in June 2023, caused significant player backlash, particularly among those who purchased the premium edition. The success or failure of Season 5 will likely determine the game's ultimate fate.
