MultiVersus Relaunches and Now Features Four Different Kinds of In-Game Currency

With MultiVersus returning from the dead today, fans who have awaited its arrival might be surprised to see how the game has changed since its beta. One of the biggest changes found in the MultiVersus launch is the inclusion of not one, not two, but four new kinds of in-game currency, each with their own special uses.

When MultiVersus originally launched in beta, the game only featured Gleamium and Character Tickets for unlocks. Now, there are four separate currencies, each of which received an explanation in a recent MultiVersus developer post:

• Perk – Used to unlock in-game perks. Can be earned via Events, Rifts Mode, the Battle Pass, and Account/Character Mastery.
• Fighter – Used to unlock characters. Can be earned via Events, Rifts Mode, the Battle Pass, and Account/Character Mastery.
• Prestige – Used to unlock exclusive Prestige cosmetics. Can be earned via acquiring cosmetics.
• Gleamium – Used to unlock cosmetics, emotes, the Battle Pass, and more. Can be earned via Events, the Battle Pass, or by purchasing the premium currency directly.

Gold, which was another currency available during the beta, has been entirely removed, and players will now receive commemorative cosmetics based on how much Gold they accumulated during their time in the beta. Additionally, character and Battle Pass tokens are no longer earnable, though players can still use their remaining pools of these currencies for unlocks.

This seems like a lot to keep track of, but we have a feeling it’ll become second nature pretty quickly to MultiVersus regulars. It’s not the first game to feature numerous different currencies, and it certainly won’t be the last. We’re more concerned about the question that seems to be on everyone’s mind: will MultiVersus succeed this time?

While microtransactions are the norm in today’s gaming world, would gamers be OK with a game requiring this level of in-game monetization? We’ll know for sure in the coming weeks and months.

MultiVersus is out today, May 28, on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. There’s a new title update that was released today that brings in free stuff for those who played the game previously.
