After an early access period last week, the MultiVersus beta is finally open for everyone. The Smash Bros. clone pits iconic Warner Bros. characters against each other, resulting in a wild game where Shaggy and Velma from Scooby Doo duel Batman and Bugs Bunny. It’s a bizarre combination, but first impressions all agree that it’s a lot of fun.

For Nintendo fans, MultiVersus will feel immediately familiar. You choose from a roster of fighters, each with their own character class and special move set, and try to knock your opponents off a floating platform. The more damage you deal to them, the further back they’re knocked and the greater chance you have of eliminating them.

But MultiVersus has added a few tricks to the formula, starting with a 2v2 mode where two duo teams battle together. It also supports cross-platform play, meaning people on PC, PlayStation and Xbox can play together.

How to Play the MultiVersus Beta:

The MultiVersus open beta is officially live and free to play. There’s no sign up necessary — simply download the game on your platform of choice.

Since MultiVersus supports cross-play, it doesn’t matter which version you download — you’ll still be able to play with your friends on their preferred platform.
