Will MultiVersus come to Switch? Everything we know
radiotimes.comMultiVersus has returned to consoles and PC this week, with thousands of players picking the game up again after its open beta period ended last year — but does that include Nintendo Switch owners?
The Warner Bros-made game seems like a perfect title to be played on a Nintendo Switch. It is aimed at a family-friendly audience, is filled with characters such as Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry and has an overall brightly-coloured, light-hearted vibe.
