MultiVersus has only been in beta for a few weeks, but WB Games' attempt at its own Smash Bros.-style brawler has drawn a lot of attention from millions of players. If the number of registered accounts is to be believed, there are already over 10 million unique MultiVersus users across all of the game's platforms.

The report comes from PC Gamer, which gathered the data from statistics site tracker.gg. The last time we tracked user numbers for MultiVersus, it was late last month when Steam users peaked at 153,000. At the time, we observed that the user numbers for consoles were unavailable, but it looks like that total has ballooned something fierce since the start of the game's open beta, as has the total number of PC players.

MultiVersus first went into open beta on July 19 with a rotating number of free characters and a series of unlockable and premium cosmetics. WB Games and Player First Games have grand plans for the free-to-play brawler. While the start of Season 1 has been delayed, there is a full roadmap in place that includes new playable characters, cosmetics, and premium goodies.

With such a bright future ahead of it, MultiVersus is worth monitoring, so keep it on Shacknews for further updates.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
