Invincible VS open beta weekend

Invincible VS opened an open beta this weekend, giving players a short window to test mechanics and netcode ahead of launch. The beta was one of several major patch and open‑test events called out in the same gaming roundup, so if you missed it there will likely be more timed windows soon (x.com).

Invincible VS is only playable for three days in this public test, from April 9 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time to April 11 at 9:00 p.m. Pacific Time, so this weekend is less a demo and more a stress test with a clock on it. (invinciblevs.com(invinciblevs.com)) The beta is open to anyone on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X and Series S, with no sign-up form and no pre-order gate, but the test is console-only even though the full game is also coming to personal computer through Steam at launch. (invinciblevs.com(invinciblevs.com)) (invinciblevs.com(invinciblevs.com)) The game itself is a three-versus-three tag fighter, which means you pick a team of three characters and swap them in during a match instead of sticking with one fighter from start to finish. Skybound says the beta is built around that system, with lessons for movement, inputs, active tagging, and assist breakers inside the tutorial. (news.xbox.com(news.xbox.com)) There are 10 playable fighters in the beta: Invincible, Atom Eve, Bulletproof, Thula, Rex Splode, Battle Beast, Omni-Man, Allen the Alien, Robot, and Monster Girl. There are also 6 arenas, including Hometown Invasion at night, Moon Ka-Hor’s Tomb by day, and the Training Room. (invinciblevs.com(invinciblevs.com)) (invinciblevs.com(invinciblevs.com)) The mode list is narrow on purpose: Tutorial, Practice, and Ranked. Offline play is limited to Tutorial and Practice, so if you want to test the online connection against other people, Ranked matchmaking is the only lane in this beta. (invinciblevs.com(invinciblevs.com)) Cross-play is turned on between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S, which makes this weekend useful for checking matchmaking speed and connection quality across both console pools instead of splitting players into smaller islands. The beta also supports gamepads, arcade sticks, and leverless controllers, with both standard and motion inputs available. (invinciblevs.com(invinciblevs.com)) Skybound added two prizes to make the short test feel consequential. Everyone who plays gets immediate access to a special Omni-Man skin that carries over to the launch version on the same platform, and the top 20 players on the ranked leaderboard will be listed as “Beta Beasts” in the game’s credits. (news.xbox.com(news.xbox.com)) (invinciblevs.com(invinciblevs.com)) This is also the last public tune-up before release, because Invincible VS is scheduled to launch on April 30, 2026. The studio is already steering players to its Discord server and subreddit for bug reports and feedback, which is usually where balance complaints, netcode notes, and “this character is broken” clips pile up fastest after a beta like this.
