Multiversus Season 1 kicked off today and the game’s first Battle Pass has arrived, but the latter has already sparked controversy about Gleamium rewards…or lack thereof. Due to the need to purchase Gleamium, players hoped to get some of it back through rewards, but that was not the case.

One type of reward missing from the MultiVersus Season 1 Battle Pass is Grimium. Traditionally, in games with a battle pass, players faced an upfront cost to purchase the battle pass. However, you can earn enough premium currency or points throughout the season to redeem it for the next season’s Battle Pass. This means that those who play the game the most don’t have to keep paying for future Battle Passes. MultiVersus seems to avoid this. The game’s Battle Pass can only be purchased using his Gleamium, but nowhere in the reward list above is his Gleamium. This means players will have to purchase more premium currency to get future Battle Passes.
This sparked controversy among players who were disappointed that MultiVersus did not follow a similar premium currency pattern to games such as Fortnite and Call of Duty. It points out the high Gleamium value of the $10 cost over 4 months and all other rewards players receive at 50 levels of the pass. Developer Player First Games has not commented yet.
In other news, Marvel’s Spider-Man remastered on PC provides more evidence of the PC game’s PSN account integration. Elsewhere, a Fortnite x Dragon Ball crossover trailer has been leaked .
