MultiVersus is Warner Bros’ biggest Steam release by far

MultiVersus is easily Warner Bros Games’ biggest Steam release to date, based on active players.

The free-to-play fighter entered open beta on Tuesday and its number of active users quickly started to build.

By the end of its first night, the game had reached a peak concurrent player count of 144,456 – at the time this put it ahead ofApex Legends (118,887) and behind onlyLost Ark (268,988),Dota 2 (454,554) and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (587,002).

In all, the peak was the seventh-highest onSteam in the last 24 hours, ahead of such titles as Team Fortress 2,Monster Hunter Rise, Ark: Survival Evolved, Rust andDestiny 2.

It also marked the highest peak concurrent player count ever achieved byWarner Bros Games, by some distance.

The ten previous highest peaks recorded by Warner Bros Games / Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment are as follows:

  1. Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga (82,517)
  2. Back 4 Blood (65,987)
  3. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (48,668)
  4. Mortal Kombat 11 (35,147)
  5. Mad Max (33,356)
  6. Batman: Arkham Knight (27,406)
  7. Batman: Arkham Origins (25,017)
  8. Mortal Kombat X (15,743)
  9. Injustice: GodsAmong Us Ultimate Edition (10,344)
  10. Gotham City Impostors: Free to Play Edition (7,249)

MultiVersus‘ day one peak is higher than the combined peaks of every Batman and Mortal Kombat game, two key pillars of Warner Bros’ game IP portfolio.

The game had alreadyreached a higher all-time peak than any other fighting game on Steam while it was still in closed beta, so it was almost inevitable that the number would rise once it became available to all players.

Warner launched theMultiVersus open beta at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm BST on Tuesday in the Americas, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

It’s available forPC,PS5,PS4,Xbox Series X/S andXbox One with full cross-play support, and includes 17 characters, nine maps and eight modes at launch.
