MultiVersus update 1.03 is coming today, adding Rick Sanchez to the roster of playable fighters while also making controversial changes to the game's XP and progression.

But while Rick's addition to the MultiVersus roster is likely to be well-received, the XP changes have already been criticized by fans.
