Skybound’s new internal development team, Quarter Up, is finally letting players get their hands on its upcoming 3v3 tag fighter, Invincible VS. Starting today, April 9, and running through April 11, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S owners can jump into the open beta. It’s a quick weekend test run to stress the servers and gather feedback before the game officially drops on April 30.
For this beta, players have access to 10 characters from the planned 18-fighter launch roster. The lineup features the expected heavy hitters—Mark Grayson, Atom Eve, Omni-Man, and Battle Beast—alongside familiar faces like Robot, Monster Girl, Bulletproof, Thula, Rex Splode, and Allen the Alien. You’ll be able to bash each other across six different environmental stages.
The studio is keeping things focused this weekend with just three available modes: a tutorial to learn the ropes of tagging and combo breakers, a practice mode to figure out your team synergy, and an online ranked queue. If you’re the competitive type, Quarter Up is offering a pretty cool incentive—the top 20 players on the ranked leaderboard at the end of the weekend will have their screen names immortalized in the final game’s credits. Plus, anyone who logs in to play will unlock a free bearded Omni-Man skin at launch, matching his battered look from the current season of the show.
Skybound also shed some light on its plans for physical copies. A standard physical release is coming to both Xbox and PlayStation, packaging the disc with some collectible cards and a control reference sheet. If you’re on PS5 and want something for the shelf, there’s a Collector’s Edition that throws in a steelbook case, a reprinted first issue of the comic with a variant cover, a letter from the development team, and the digital deluxe bonuses.
The fighting game community is famously tough to please, especially when it comes to mechanical depth and reliable netcode. This weekend’s open beta is the real proving ground. It will ultimately show us whether Quarter Up has built a fighter with the legs to survive the competitive scene, or if it’s mostly just a fun piece of interactive fan service.
