MultiVersus, the free-to-play crossover fighting game, has seen a significant surge in player activity on PS5 and PS4 despite the game’s servers still being offline. According to exclusive data from GameInsights, which tracks gameplay data from over 3.1 million active PSN accounts, MultiVersus’ player count jumped up by 377.60% on both consoles in the week ending April 21, 2024. This increase has propelled MultiVersus to the #111 spot in GameInsights’ PlayStation Chart, alongside popular titles like Fallout Shelter and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.
