Multiversus will be shutting down on May 30, 2025, Player First Games confirmed. Season 5 will be the game’s final season, after which all online features will end and the game will be delisted. Those who own it will still be able to play, however.
The final Multiversus season will begin on February 4, 2025, and then conclude on May 30, 2025. After this, all support for the game will be shut down. In addition to online player servers, all microtransactions will become unavailable as of January 31, 2025. This means that both of Season 5’s new characters, Aquaman and Lola Bunny, will be available exclusively through gameplay. Aquaman will be available as the first tier reward of the Battle Pass, while Lola will be a daily calendar login reward. If players have already purchased Gleamium, they will still be able to use their remaining balance for purchases during the season.
While Multiversus will be delisted at the end of Season 5, players who log in during this final season will be able to play the game offline after the shutdown. This means players will still be able to play against solo against bots or via local multiplayer. This includes all previously purchased content. It is unknown if locked characters will be easier to obtain as a result of these changes.
Multiversus is a Smash Bros style fighter that has faced significant criticism since its launch. Despite a successful beta launch in 2022, the game’s huge player numbers quickly dropped off. This is often attributed to the game’s aggressive monetization systems that restricted the game’s roster, which is likely why the game is now being shut down.
Multiversus is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X until May 30, 2025.
