Crystal Dynamicskicked off 2023 by confirming it had finally admitted it needed to bite the bullet andwould be throwing in the towel on Marvel’s Avengers later this year. September 30 is when support for the maligned superhero game will come to an end, after which all of its online features will be turned off, it won’t receive any more updates, but its single-player campaign and all of its expansions will remain playable if you already own them.
That last bit may have been lost on some people who have assumed once this month comes to an end, clicking on theirAvengersicon on their platform of choice won’t do anything. That’s not the case which means if you have understandably avoided the game due to the discourse surrounding it, there has never been a better time to pick up a copy. Not only because its story is now complete since no more expansions are coming, but also because you can now pick up the game for next to nothing.

ThePlayStationversion of Avengers is available right now through the link below for just $3.99. That’s a massive 90 percent price cut, naturally because the game is about to be delisted and its features will be far more limited after September 30. Again though, while any problems you might stumble upon won’t be fixed after this month, the game you’re getting for $4 includes all of the expansions and can still be played after support comes to an end.

WHERE TO PLAY
Marvel’s Avengers brings together the best of the comic books and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Players can assume the role of more than ten superheroes, and must take on the nefarious A.I.M. corporation in both single-player and multiplayer gameplay.
As bad as the chatter around Avengers has been for its three-year run, the amount of game you’ll get for $4 is still well worth the money. I thought the main story was pretty great, and the characters added to the game via various DLC, including Spider-Man since it’s the PlayStation edition that’s 90 percent off, improved the game, even if their stories didn’t run as deep and add as much as they really should have.
The most annoying thing about all of this, and trying to sell Avengers' single-player campaign and features to those of you who haven’t played it, is I truly believe if that had been the focus, the game would have received a far warmer reception.Insomniac’s Spider-Man,Rocksteady’s Arkham trilogy, and Eidos Montreal’sGuardians of the Galaxyhave all proved well-thought out single player campaigns are the way to go when it comes to superhero games, even in a world where every studio is trying to apply a live service spin to whatever it can get away with.
