Who wouldn't want to cause some mayhem?

What would Batman be without his greatest villain? Well, MultiVersus isn’t looking to answer that question since you can unlock and play as the Joker.

Joker was one of several characters added during MultiVersusrelaunch on May 28, and he isn’t locked behind any fancy events or modes—unlike Agent Smith’s first appearance. The Clown Prince of Crime is a tricky fighter who uses toys and pranks to secure victory. Unlocking Joker in MultiVersus is a bit of a joke too.

Joker is available as soon as you open up MultiVersus via the game’s Fighter Store. This is where you can spend in-game currency to purchase unlockable characters at any point while playing the game. 

Most characters in the Fighter Store cost the same amount to purchase. For Joker, that means you can either pay 3,000 Fighter Currency or 1,000 Gleamium—both of which can be earned by playing, though the latter is also a microtransaction. If you played the MultiVersus beta, you could still have a few Character TIckets leftover too, which can also be used to unlock fighters in the full version.

Once you unlock Joker, you will have full access to him from your Fighters tab and can use him in any Rift, PvP, or other battles you want. You can also start grinding up his Fighter Mastery levels for additional goodies. Just don’t expect to get Variant Skins like The Batman Who Laughs easily.
