Players would have to spend at least $250 / £200 to unlock everything in MultiVersus at launch.
The Warner Bros. brawler’s open beta is available to everyone on July 26, but early access was made available today to those who played the closed alpha, those who won codes via Twitch drops, or those who pay for a Founder’s Pack bundle (costing between $40 and $100).

This can be detailed in full in our MultiVersus unlockables guide, which breaks down every unlockable and how to acquire it, but a basic summary is as follows:
