Invincible VS is finally letting players loose in its Open Beta, and the 3v3 tag fighter built on the beloved Skybound comic and animated series is worth your attention. Quarter Up, Skybound's in-house studio, has packed three full days of beta access with 10 playable characters, multiple modes, and a ranked leaderboard that puts real stakes on every match. If you want to climb, earn a free skin, or just figure out who your main is before launch, here's what you need to know.
What's in the Invincible VS Open Beta?
According to the official Xbox Wire announcement from Executive Producer Mike Willette, the beta ran from April 9 at 10:00am PT to April 11 at 9:00pm PT, console-exclusive on Xbox Series X|S. Three modes were available from the start:

The Tutorial is worth running even if you've played tag fighters before. Active Tagging and Assist Breakers are mechanics specific to Invincible VS, and the tutorial is the fastest way to understand how they interact before you take a real match.
Don't skip Practice Mode before queuing Ranked. Knowing your team's tag timing can be the difference between a clean combo extension and dropping a punish entirely.
Who's on the Invincible VS roster?
The Open Beta included 10 characters drawn directly from the Invincible comic and animated series. Per the Xbox Wire announcement, the full beta roster is:
- Mark Grayson (Invincible)
- Atom Eve
- Bulletproof
- Thula
- Rex Splode
- Battle Beast
- Omni-Man
- Robot
- Monster Girl
- Allen the Alien
Full 10-character beta roster
This is a genuinely varied lineup. Battle Beast and Omni-Man are your obvious power-type picks, while Atom Eve and Robot skew toward more technical playstyles based on their source material abilities. Rex Splode and Monster Girl sit in the middle, offering solid fundamentals without demanding mastery upfront.
For players new to tag fighters, starting with Mark Grayson makes sense. As the game's namesake, his kit is designed to be accessible while still rewarding players who learn his deeper tools.
Don't lock yourself into one main during the beta. The three-day window is your best chance to test every character before launch, so rotate through at least four or five before committing.
How does the Invincible VS ranked mode work?
Ranked Mode awards League Points for wins and tracks them on a live leaderboard. The stakes are higher than a typical beta: according to Quarter Up, the top 20 players at the end of the Open Beta period will have their names listed as "Beta Beasts" in the official Invincible VS credits at launch.
That's a concrete incentive to take ranked seriously, and it means the leaderboard will be competitive from day one. Expect the upper ranks to fill quickly with players who have been following the game since its earlier test phases.

The Beta Beast credit listing is purely cosmetic and honorary, but it's permanent. If you're a dedicated Invincible fan, that's a meaningful way to be part of the game's history.

What's the free Omni-Man skin and how do you get it?
Every Open Beta participant receives a special Omni-Man skin inspired by his appearance in episode 406 of the Invincible animated series. The key visual difference: this version swaps his signature mustache for a full beard. According to the Xbox Wire announcement, the skin is automatically granted to all Open Beta players.
You don't need to hit a ranked milestone or complete any specific challenge. Just playing the beta at any point during the window qualifies you.

What new characters are coming after launch?
Beyond the 10 beta characters, Ella Mental has already been confirmed for the full roster. Voiced by rapper Tierra Whack, the character was revealed at The Game Awards, as reported by Cosmic Book News. You can check out the Ella Mental character reveal trailer for a look at her design and playstyle ahead of launch.
When does Invincible VS launch and where can you play it?
Invincible VS launched on April 30, 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud. The game is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, meaning a single purchase covers both console and PC. Pre-orders were available at invinciblevs.com before launch.
As an Xbox Play Anywhere title, your save data and progress carry between Xbox console and PC automatically. If you tested on console during the beta, your settings and preferences should transfer when you switch platforms.
Tips for getting the most out of your time in the beta
- Run the Tutorial first, specifically the sections on Active Tagging and Assist Breakers. These are the mechanics that separate good teams from great ones.
- Use Practice Mode to test at least one combo per character before taking them into Ranked.
- In 3v3 tag format, team composition matters as much as individual skill. Try pairing a high-damage character like Battle Beast with a more defensive option to understand how tag synergies work.
- If you're aiming for the Beta Beast leaderboard spot, queue Ranked from the first available hour. The top 20 fills fast, and catching up after the first day is significantly harder.
