Skybound launches Invincible VS, first major video-game adaptation of the franchise

Skybound launched Invincible VS on Thursday, bringing the first major video game adaptation of the Invincible franchise to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC a week after the animated series’ Season 4 finale.

The game went live globally at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern, according to the official site and Xbox Wire. It is available on PC through Steam and the Microsoft Store.

Invincible VS is an M-rated 3-on-3 tag fighting game with an 18-character launch roster drawn from the comic and TV universe. Playable fighters include Mark Grayson, also known as Invincible, Omni-Man, Atom Eve, Battle Beast, Rex Splode, Conquest and Ella Mental, an original character created for the game. The game also includes a Story Mode at launch, described by Skybound as a bonus playable episode with more than 25 minutes of original cinematics produced by Skybound Animation.

Skybound’s digital standard edition is priced at $49.99. A $69.99 digital deluxe edition adds cosmetics and the Year 1 Character Pass. A $99.99 physical collector’s edition is available for PS5 only, with physical extras and the Year 1 pass; availability varies by region.

The release is also a business milestone for Skybound. Developer Quarter Up, a Los Angeles-based team, is the company’s first in-house game studio. Skybound has said the studio was founded by former members of the Killer Instinct (2013) team and includes more than 40 developers, making Invincible VS both the first major Invincible game and the debut title in Skybound’s broader push into internal game development.

“We’ve worked hard to create Invincible VS, and as huge fans of Invincible and fighting games alike here at Quarter Up, it’s incredibly rewarding to finally share the game with players,” executive producer Mike Willette said in launch materials.

That gives the launch added weight beyond a standard licensed game release. Skybound is testing how far it can extend one of its best-known properties across comics, television and games under one roof.

The timing is not accidental. The Invincible comic ran for 146 issues at Image Comics, and the Prime Video animated adaptation debuted in 2021. Season 4 premiered March 18, 2026, and its finale streamed April 22, putting the game in front of an audience that has just finished the latest chapter of the show.

The game’s Story Mode was written by Helen Leigh and Mike Rogers in collaboration with Invincible co-creator Robert Kirkman. Several actors from the TV series return for the game, including J.K. Simmons as Omni-Man, Gillian Jacobs as Atom Eve, Jason Mantzoukas as Rex Splode, Michael Dorn as Battle Beast and Ross Marquand as Robot. One likely point of interest for fans: official materials list Aleks Le as Mark Grayson in the game rather than Steven Yeun, who voices the character in the series.

The Mature 17+ rating reflects the source material’s violence. The ESRB cites blood and gore, intense violence and strong language, and its content summary mentions graphic finishing moves, decapitation and dismemberment.

Skybound has already outlined its first year of post-launch content. The Year 1 Character Pass will add four downloadable fighters, with Universa and The Immortal scheduled for summer 2026 and two more characters still unannounced.
