MultiVersus to Shut Down After Season 5
Warner Bros. Games has announced the closure of MultiVersus, effective May 30, 2025, following the completion of its fifth and final season. The news, shared via the official MultiVersus Twitter (X) account on January 31, 2025, and a blog post on the game's website, confirmed that Season 5 will be the game's last content update.
MultiVersus Season 5: A Final Farewell
Season 5, running from February 4, 2025, to May 30, 2025, will introduce two new playable characters: Aquaman (DC) and Lola Bunny (Looney Tunes). All Season 5 content, including these new characters, will be unlockable through gameplay. After Season 5 concludes, MultiVersus will be removed from the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, and Epic Games Store. No official reason for the shutdown has been provided.
Offline Play: A Lasting Legacy
While online servers will close, MultiVersus will offer an offline mode. To access this, players must download the latest version of the game between February 4th (9 AM PST) and May 30th (9 AM PDT). This will create a local save file linked to their respective accounts (PlayStation Network, Microsoft Store, Steam, or Epic Games Store), preserving all earned and purchased content for offline solo or multiplayer (up to four players) against AI opponents.
Real-money transactions ceased on January 31, 2025. Any remaining Gleamium (in-game currency) can be used until the end of Season 5.
A Brief History and Uncertain Future
MultiVersus launched its public beta in July 2022, quickly gaining popularity as a free-to-play platform fighter. Following a relaunch in May 2024 with significant updates (new characters, rollback netcode, a PvE mode, etc.), the game continued to face challenges, including technical issues and reported player count drops (a 70% decrease in July 2024 for PS4 and PS5).
By the time of its closure on May 30th at 9 AM PDT, MultiVersus will boast 35 playable characters. Player First Games and Warner Bros. expressed gratitude for the community's support.
MultiVersus remains available for download on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC until May 30, 2025.
