MultiVersus can be enjoyed in various ways and is launched in a range of modes, both online and locally. Rifts features a PvE experience with boss fights, mini-games, and unique rewards while serving as a way for players to learn mechanics, test characters, and sharpen skills, whether playing solo or cooperatively online with a friend. MultiVersus can also be enjoyed via the 2 vs. 2 team-based cooperative mode and more. The Lab (practice mode), tutorials, and local play matches support up to four competitors.
