Game will be delisted later this year, humble bundle seems to be the cheapest offering for PC and you can get a further discount depending on if you're an existing Choice subscriber (you have the choice of splitting it between discount or charity when you check out. Mine went down to $9.53)
Update 2.8 is the final content update for Marvel’s Avengers. Official support will end on September 30, 2023. https://avengers.crystald.com/en-us/patch-notes-v2-8/
Apparently it will be with the disclaimer of until something big breaks. So kinda sounds like it’ll work until the server die which could be due to many different reasons and they won’t be fixing it.
Will I still be able to play the game solo?
Yes. All content that is available for solo play will continue to be available after September 30, 2023.
Will I still be able to play with my friends?
Yes. Multiplayer will still be accessible after support discontinues on September 30, 2023. Multiplayer will continue to require Xbox Live Gold on Xbox platforms and PS Plus on PlayStation platforms.
Will single- and multi-player play be available forever?
The changes we are making to how the game functions will ensure as long a life as possible. However, after September 30, 2023 we can’t guarantee that we will be able to address issues that occur due to unforeseen circumstances.
To our amazing community,
After two-and-a-half years and introducing twelve of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, following Update 2.8 on March 31, 2023, we will no longer add new content or features to Marvel’s Avengers. All official support for the game will end on September 30, 2023.
Even after official support ceases on September 30, 2023, both single- and multi-player gameplay will continue to be available. See below for more information.
Whats the status of this game now?
The original issues which flatlined the user reviews were:
- Bugs/crashes (on PC version)
- Microtransactions
Picked it up on Game Pass over the weekend, game has been solid for me and I'm pretty sure this last patch removed whatever microtransactions were left
Seems very stable when I gave it a shot in last year. You can tell it had potential, if only it wasn't set to grind so you have to do extremely similar missions again and again so you can pay to skip.
Do actually recommend this. The story and campaign is pretty decent and it is Crystal Dynamics after all. The post launch free DLC, adding essentially new campaigns has been quite sweet too.
Bought from them last night after playing on Game Pass a couple years back, due to the desliting incoming. Shame Spidey won't come to Xbox or PC. I don't care enough to buy and replay it on PS5 for a li burst of meh Spider-Man when the new one is coming out soon, but I'm buying any and everything cool on Steam Deck at the moment and would have lapped it up there.
Anyway, point of this message is,
I bought it last night, and they are currently out of keys for the game, ideally they get more soon, but don't buy the game from Humble if you want it right now. I'll come back and comment on here if and when I get emailed my code.
May be waiting a hot minute considering this was an issue months ago https://www.reddit.com/r/humblebundles/comments/10k6as3/psa_…
I'll sit on it for a bit, but by the time Easter is all well and done, if it doesn't work (no code for me yet) I'll be asking for a refund too.
Got the code when I checked this morning, carry on!
It's quite fashionable to dislike this game but I'm not interested in multiplayer and I can't imagine the campaign could be that bad. Graphics look good, loved Tomb Raider and Guardians of the Galaxy, seems like good value.
didn't they just announced they'll be shutting the game down by the end of the year?
Played the demo to get the Hulk hands on Fortnite and I'd rather have teeth pulled than play that game again, much less pay for the privillege. Sorry for all of you that like it, but for me it's not a loss.

Will this be playable at all after support ends?
