Newcomers can use auto-buy and auto-level options or try Arena mode, which is described as deathmatch-like. Players seeking competition can pursue ladders and team play. Steam lists multiplayer and PvP, achievements, full controller support, trading cards, and in-app purchases. The listed platforms are Windows and Xbox Series X and Series S.
