The game features a dedicated server-based rollback netcode to enable robust online competition. In our recent Closed Alpha preview, Francesco wrote: Being still in Alpha, many features in MultiVersus will be tweaked in the future. While I’m not feeling too good about some of them, chiefly the general floatiness, it is undeniable that I had tons of fun with the Alpha build, also thanks to the excellent rollback netcode that made most matches play smoothly, and I really can’t wait to experience more of it in the coming months.
