Despite being in closed beta, MultiVersus once had the highest concurrent player count of any one-on-one fighting game in Steam history.
The Warner Bros. brawler’s open beta debuts on July 26th, but players who participated in the closed alpha, won codes through Twitch drops, or purchased a Founder’s Pack bundle (costing between $40 and $100) have had early access for the past week.
The game has a peak concurrent player count of 62,433, according to SteamDB, despite not yet being accessible to everyone.
This is a higher peak than any other one-on-one fighting game that has ever been released on Steam, according to VGC’s research.
None of the top-rated, most played, and best-selling fighting games on Steam, according to VGC’s analysis of the lists, had more than 60,000 concurrent players.
The peak concurrent player count may increase when MultiVersus enters open beta on Tuesday when LeBron James will also become a playable character. This is because everyone who has been locked out of the game will then have access for the first time.
According to a recent VGC report, MultiVersus will get at least 19 new characters.
The person who first leaked the existence of MultiVersus in the first place shared an alleged list of future characters on Reddit in May. LeBron James and two other later-confirmed fighters, Rick and Morty from the same-named TV program, were among the list’s twenty-one fighters.
