MultiVersus is Shutting Down After Its 5th Season

MultiVersus: A Farewell After Season 5

Warner Bros. Games has announced the closure of MultiVersus, its popular platform fighter, after its upcoming fifth season. The game will officially shut down on May 30, 2025.

Season 5: The Final Chapter

The official announcement, made on January 31st, 2025, confirmed that Season 5, launching February 4th, 2025, will be the game's last. This season will introduce two highly anticipated characters: Aquaman (DC) and Lola Bunny (Looney Tunes). All Season 5 content will be unlockable through gameplay. Following the season's conclusion, 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 services cease, MultiVersus will offer offline play. Players can download the final update (available from February 4th, 9 AM PST to May 30th, 9 AM PDT) to enable local gameplay, either solo against AI or with up to three friends. This offline mode will preserve all earned and purchased content.

Real-money transactions ended on January 31st, 2025. Any remaining Gleamium (in-game currency) can be used until the end of Season 5.

A Short but Impactful Run

MultiVersus launched its public beta in July 2022, quickly gaining popularity as a free-to-play platform fighter. A relaunch in May 2024 introduced new features, but persistent technical issues and player concerns regarding microtransactions ultimately impacted its longevity. Reportedly, player counts significantly dropped in July 2024.

At its closure, MultiVersus will boast a roster of 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 30th, 2025.
