As the Invincible VS beta test approaches its end, the community is urging publisher Skybound Games and developer Quarter Up to address the persistent issue of 'rage quitting' before the full release.
The fighting game, inspired by the popular comic and TV series, will shut down its trial servers soon, having allowed players to test a selection of superhero characters since April 9. With the official launch still weeks away, participants in the limited beta are left pondering matches where they might have dominated a little too effectively.
Players across all skill levels joined the Invincible VS beta and quickly noticed that there appeared to be minimal consequences for those who exited matches early. This led to frustrating scenarios where both Viltrumites and Guardians could be unleashing devastating combos on their opponents, only to receive a sudden disconnect message.
'If even casual players like me are encountering this problem regularly, it raises concerns about the game's future player base,' one gamer remarked. 'An automated penalty system to discourage rage quitting is definitely necessary.'
Another player shared a creative workaround: 'I found that using random characters I hadn't practiced with reduced the number of quits. It creates a more exploratory start to the fight, making opponents less likely to bail.'
Rage quitting—where players exit matches prematurely, often when facing defeat—isn't a new phenomenon in gaming. Many multiplayer titles, especially competitive ones, implement measures like delayed queue times or temporary bans to curb this behavior. However, Invincible VS currently lacks any such deterrents.
Some in the community believe improved matchmaking could alleviate the issue, with highly skilled fighters reporting repeatedly being placed in one-sided matches. While many are calling for Quarter Up to introduce penalties, others have proposed more dramatic solutions, such as a feature akin to Mortal Kombat's Quitality.
Given that a free beta naturally attracts players unfamiliar with tag-team fighters like Invincible VS, fans are advising newcomers to at least complete the tutorial. Meanwhile, memes circulating from the beta weekend highlight a growing demand for action.
'Release a fighting game for free, and you'll attract a crowd unprepared for the genre,' one Reddit user quipped.
Another joked, 'Heaven forbid I have previous fighting game experience, lol.'
Invincible VS is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on April 30, 2026. Beta participants have received the Coalition of Planets Omni-Man skin as a reward. While we await Quarter Up and Skybound's response to rage quitting complaints and other beta feedback, you can explore details about Conquest as a playable character and the two DLC fighters scheduled for release this summer.
