How To Change Your Age In MultiVersus

Some of the content in MultiVersus has age restrictions, and there are no straightforward ways to adjust the player’s age in-game. The age restriction issue became apparent in MultiVersus’ open beta, which took place in 2022, but the full release has yet to add any way to directly alter or change player age. Although players hoped a solution would be added alongside the official launch, there are still potential workarounds that might be able to help.

After downloading and launching the platform Fighter for the first time, players will be asked to provide their ages. If players made an account during the beta and are still using that same account, then it will go off of your previous answer. Age needs to be adjusted manually, but the best method for doing so will cause all progress to be lost. For players that accidentally set the wrong age or just want to change it, the saved data needs to be erased so the age prompt appears when they relaunch the game.

MultiVersus Review: Back & Looking To Knock Out The Competition

MultiVersus is back with its full game launch, with many technical changes and updates that could help give it an edge against the competition.

Steps To Reset Your Age On PC

Since an age must be chosen when opening the game for the first time, players must delete all saved data and start over completely. After resetting and launching MultiVersus again, players can set their age. Unfortunately, starting over completely is the only other way to adjust the player’s age, but future updates may offer a more straightforward method. To access everything the game offers, the player’s age should be at least 18.

Step One: Open File Explorer
Step Two: Click on View, then check off the Hidden Items box so the App Data folder can be accessed
Step Three: Navigate to Local Disk (C) and select the correct User
Step Four: Open the App Data folder
Step Five: Select the MultiVersus folder
Step Six: Open the Saved folder
Step Seven: In the SaveGames folder, delete the firstlaunch_save.sav file
Step Eight: Launch MultiVersus and select the Over 22 option when prompted

The above method only works on PCs, so
console players cannot adjust their age
. Some console players have reported success by entering their console’s family or parental control options and changing the direct console restrictions.

Given that the age you select is tied to your Warner Bros. account, you may need to make an entirely new profile and start fresh. Although the full release introduced new characters such as the Joker and Agent Smith in MultiVersus, we have yet to see any way to officially navigate the age restriction problem.

MultiVersus Age Restrictions Explained

At the time of release, MultiVersus is rated T for Teen by the ESRB, with content warnings about fantasy violence and language. The full game also features several micro currencies, such as Gleamium and Prestige Points in MultiVersus, that players can buy and spend. Whenever you load up MultiVersus for the first time, you will need to select your age.

If you select an age below 13, you will not be able to access the game’s content
and will need to use the method above to get into the game. For console players, you may, unfortunately, need to create a new profile to get another chance to set your age.

If you want to access the game’s online modes, such as 1v1, 2v2, and the upcoming Ranked mode coming sometime after MultiVersus‘ Season 1, you must select 18 or above. Although you can access MultiVersus if you select anywhere in the 13–17 age range, you will be restricted to offline mode only. This means that you cannot access the game’s online features. If you have already set your age to 18 or above but are still locked in offline mode, you might want to check if you need to update MultiVersus.
