    Last Chance To Add MultiVersus Before It Disappears

    MultiVersus, the free-to-play fighting game that featured an impressive variety of characters from numerous franchises, is officially closing its doors—this time for good. Today marks the final opportunity to add it to your collection before it is removed from digital storefronts on May 30. However, there is a positive aspect to this announcement: the game will remain playable in offline mode and can be reinstalled after the delisting date. To ensure you can access it later, simply log into the game on your preferred platform between February 4 and May 30.

    Describing the game’s challenges would be an understatement. MultiVersus debuted in beta back in July 2022 and ran until June 2023, but it was subsequently taken offline for almost a year for a complete overhaul. It was reintroduced in May 2024 utilizing Unreal Engine 5, revealing noticeable enhancements; unfortunately, these improvements weren’t sufficient to sustain its success.

    The decision to shut down the game isn’t entirely unexpected. In November 2024, Warner Bros. acknowledged that MultiVersus had significantly fallen short of expectations but indicated that they would continue development efforts.

    As of today, players can no longer acquire premium currency or engage in any real-money transactions within the game. However, any Gleamium—MultiVersus’s in-game currency—already acquired can still be utilized until the conclusion of Season 5 on May 30. The development team expressed gratitude to the community, highlighting their appreciation for the support received throughout the game’s life cycle.

    “Above all, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to every player and supporter of MultiVersus. The teams at Player First Games and Warner Bros. Games have dedicated countless hours and effort to bring this game to life. We will always be grateful for the amazing support from the MultiVersus community throughout this journey,” the statement read.

    While the game will no longer be accessible online, fans can still download and enjoy MultiVersus in local multiplayer mode, making it an excellent choice for party gaming. Be sure to claim your copy before it completely vanishes from digital platforms.

  • Last Chance To Buy RTX 40-Series GPU At MSRP

    Last Chance To Buy RTX 40-Series GPU At MSRP

    Just last week, we shared the news that production of the RTX 40-series is concluding. New insights from Board Channels (noted by Gazlog) indicate that the final shipments of Nvidia’s top-tier graphics cards are imminent. Certain models, such as the RTX 4090, have already completed their last shipments. With the holiday season approaching, this might be one of the final chances to purchase the RTX 40-series at a good price before availability decreases.

    Although the RTX 40-series has been on the market for two years, it has generally maintained strong pricing. The RTX 4090 has only increased slightly from its initial manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP), and the rest of the range has remained relatively stable, sticking close to their launch prices. However, if the latest reports are accurate, the situation could change dramatically.

    Board Channels also mentions that Nvidia is gearing up for the launch of the RTX 50-series, expected in early 2025. The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 are set to arrive in January, followed by the RTX 5070 in February. Consequently, the current generation’s counterparts are expected to be the first to cease production and shipping.

    The RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 4080 Super have reportedly been discontinued. In fact, the RTX 4080 Super is nearly finished with shipments, expected to wrap up in November. Following closely, the RTX 4070 Ti Super will also see its supply dwindle.

    Nvidia is likely winding down the availability of its popular mainstream GPUs, including the RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Super, having reduced their supply last quarter, with final deliveries scheduled for December. This poses a significant challenge for gamers, as both the RTX 4070 and its Super version are regarded as some of the best-value cards in this generation.

    While halting shipments does not imply that all stock will be cleared this year, it appears Nvidia is proactively managing inventory levels. An abundance of last-generation GPUs at the time of launching new models could lead consumers to opt for the often discounted older cards rather than purchasing pricier new models like the RTX 4090.

    There are already murmurs that the RTX 50-series could carry hefty price tags. Rumored prices are eyebrow-raising, with suggestions of $2,500 for the RTX 5090, though more conservative estimates hover around $1,900 to $2,000. A user on X (formerly Twitter), Bits and Chips, indicated the RTX 5090 may be priced at approximately $1,900, representing a $300 increase over the RTX 4090’s launch price.

    Nvidia’s flagship model serves as an example of supply and demand dynamics. It has been in high demand over the last two years, making it challenging to locate a new unit for under $2,200 currently. With the conclusion of shipments for the 40-series, we could witness a rise in prices for other RTX 40-series models over the next few months, akin to the price trends observed with the RTX 30-series in the past.
