Last week we witnessed the long-awaited launch of Hogwarts Legacy and it went off very well, which must make the employees of WB Games happy. However, this is not all good news, because unfortunately Multiverse It has lost more than 99% of its players in its Steam version and it has only been 7 months since its launch.
Tomorrow, Friday February 17, will be seven months since the launch of WB’s Multiversus, the fighting platformer featuring characters from Warner Bros. such as Batman, Superman, Rick & Morty, Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry and Scooby Doo. Although we don’t know how the game fares on consoles. Multiversus has lost 99% of its players on Steam, according to data from SteamDB.
Multiversus arrived as a free-to-play game in July last year and at that time it hit its highest player count, registering up to 153,433 concurrent players. However, this week saw the low point for Multiversus, registering just over 400 active players at certain times of the day and barely hitting just over 1,100 concurrent players lately.
During the first months after the launch of Multiversus, we saw the arrival of several fighters as DLC, but since the start of season 2 in November last year, we have stopped receiving new content, as they only released one new character in the past three months. We were originally going to see Multiversus Season 3 arrive this week, but it was recently pushed back to March 31.
To draw a comparison, Ubisoft’s Brawlhalla, which like Multiversus is a similar proposition to Super Smash Bros. and is available free-to-play, sees over 14,000 concurrent players every day on a consistent basis, which isn’t bad considering the game originally arrived in October 2017, there are over five years.
