MultiVersus has seen a drastic decrease in the number of daily players, which has seen its peak player count on Steam drop more than 99% since launch.
The game enjoyed an extremely successful launch, with a peak of more than 143,000 players on Steam on day one, rising up to 153,433 the following day.stated that over 20 million players had already downloaded and played the game, suggesting a strong player base on which to build.
However, since Season 2 started on November 15, just one character – Marvin the Martian – has been released, and that was nearly three months ago. Criticism has also been levelled at the game’s monetisation system, which locks off many of its character skins to premium currency, with some costing up to the equivalent of $15.
