Multiplayer design was praised through the online arcade/Battle Hub structure and the overall set of online modes.

Multiplayer design is generally positive. Reviews cite easy grouping, shared-world encounters, MMO-lite structure, group play, and strong online integration, while acknowledging tradeoffs.

#4 Directive 8020
4.4

Multiplayer design includes online co-op, Movie Night improvements, and up to four friends joining the mission. Evidence points to broader group play support than previous local-only expectations.

#6 Invincible VS

Multiplayer design is central and heavily covered, with active tags, assists, local versus, online play, combo breakers, and casual lobbies. The main caveat is that some beta players found tag guessing and breaker interactions frustrating.

Preview coverage points to flexible social racing options, with events and spaces that support solo play, competitive play, and shared-session activity.
