According to a MultiVersus dataminer known as AisulMV, the battle pass system may receive a major adjustment in a future update that will link two accounts together. Like many other live service games that offer battle passes like Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Halo Infinite, MultiVersus has both a free and paid system that rewards fans for playing the game. The MultiVersus beta process that started last month has resulted in several fixes and balancing to various characters, but a potential battle pass modification could link two accounts together and make earning cosmetics a little easier as well.

AisulMV leaked two images from the MultiVersus files that infer players could soon find and request a battle pass partner, which includes multiple caveats to prevent abuse of the system. While battle pass progression will seemingly be linked, one account may only link to one other account each season, which will prevent lots of fans from piling onto an account to reap the rewards of more dedicated players. The battle pass with the least progression will match the others, which may encourage players that are further along in the MultiVersus battle pass tiers to link with their lower-leveled friends.
The supposed screenshot from MultiVersus shared by AisulMV states that one player with a premium battle pass will share progress with their battle pass partner, awarding both fans with quest rewards and XP. The new feature that may be coming to the platform fighting game touts that it allows the linked players to “conquer the battle pass faster and share the rewards,” hinting at more evidence behind the rumored shared progression between two MultiVersus players. AisulMV stated in response to a Twitter user that they anticipate that the changes coming to the battle pass content may be made with the release of season one.
Given how many battle pass systems in live service games have resulted in some players that haven’t unlocked the full stream of seasonal content, this adjustment to MultiVersus’ progression may ensure that more people are able to climb up the 50 tiers. Because there’s still some confusion around how the two linked accounts will progress through the premium battle pass unlocked in the MultiVersus founder’s pack, some fans remain hopeful that only one player will have to purchase the premium tiers, but others expect unpaid accounts to only receive the free cosmetics. Because AisulMV’s leaks are unconfirmed by the developers, these details could change between now and MultiVersus’ official release or may not come to the fighting game at all.
MultiVersus is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
