For any fans of platform fighting games such as Super Smash Bros. and Nickolodeon All-Star Brawl, MultiVersus would certainly seem an interesting title. Combining characters from all of Warner Media, including Jake the Dog from Adventure Time, Bugs Bunny, and a whole host of DC Superheroes, MultiVersus certainly has a wacky roster. With fans waiting eagerly to play with this host of diverse characters, they were excited to hear an open beta for MultiVersus was launching soon, giving players a chance to see the game before it releases.
Before MultiVersus' open beta launches on July 26, some fans have already had a chance to play the game thanks to there being an early access build for those who pre-ordered the special edition, received a Twitch drop code, or were a part of the closed beta. These players were granted beta access a week before everyone else, and while getting on MultiVersus early may sound like a good idea, some aren't happy with the game in its current state.
A number of issues have been reported for MultiVersus within the first 24 hours of access, with the most problematic bug stopping the game from being played completely. This bug will leave players on a Syncing Account State screen, completely stopping them from having access to MultiVersus. Until the developers fixed the issue, which they have done recently, players were encouraged to continuously reset their systems in order to have a chance of getting onto the game. Considering the MultiVersus beta will supposedly act as a soft launch of the game, some fans are worried that the game will need more fixes than had first been anticipated.
Alongside a bug stopping players from getting into MultiVersus, some have found themselves unable to access the Founders Pack items that they paid for. Already, some concerns are growing revolving around the microtransactions in MultiVersus, with players discovering that it costs $255 to unlock every cosmetic in the game. This is especially worrying for those who like to put in the hours to earn everything in a game, as the $255 price mark is for items that must be bought in order to be owned in MultiVersus.
As mentioned, the problems with the Syncing Account Screen have reportedly been fixed as of the time of writing, and the issue regarding inaccessible Founders Pack items has been solved as well. Hopefully, with these problems out of the way, players can enjoy MultiVersus in anticipation of its full release later this year. Likely, there will be some new information on the game before then, such as new characters joining the MultiVersus roster.
MultiVersus releases in 2022 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
