Now that the beta has been offline for a while, the platform fighter Multiversus has returned for its 1.0 launch. You’ll get the chance to play as many characters on the roster, all spanning from beloved TV shows, films, and comics. Here’s what you need to know about Multiversus: A release date, roster, free-to-play availability, and more.
When does Multiversus 1.0 come out?
According to the game’s FAQ page, Multiversus will be released on May 28, 2024. The exact time has yet to be set, but we’ll update this guide once more information is announced. Pre-loads may also be available as the release date approaches.
If you have already downloaded Multiversus from the beta, you can play its ‘offline access mode’ in the Lab training room. This mode allows you to practice your moves, test out different characters, and explore the game’s mechanics without an internet connection. However, its availability will change with the full release.
What platforms can you play Multiversus on?
With Multiversus, you’re not limited to a single platform. It’s available to play on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or PC. And for those who like to switch between devices, Multiversus offers the convenience of cross-play and cross-progression features. That means your progress is safe and sound, no matter where you play.

As long as you made purchases before June 25, 2023, everything should carry over to Multiversus 1.0. This includes Battle Pass tokens, Gleamium, character tickets, and cosmetics. However, progress and purchased content made after this date will not transfer to the full release.
