The first version of Injustice to be released for home computers, the ultimate edition adds a variety of content not found in the original edition. All of the game modes contribute experience points that can be used to unlock rewards and alternate costumes. Another mode offers more than 100 character-specific challenges, while multiplayer fans can join friends for a variety of different local or online matches. The game's story mode finds players jumping from character to character over the course of several chapters, with some pre-fight mini-games awarding special boosts during combat. Matches are only one round, but characters must have both of their health bars depleted to lose.īattles take place on a two-dimensional plane in familiar locations like the Batcave and the Fortress of Solitude, but the 3D backgrounds showcase multi-tiered arenas that are partially destructible and contain a variety of interactive objects. Injustice offers more than 20 playable characters, broken into Power (Superman) and Gadget (The Flash) subtypes, and gamers can unleash a variety of light, medium, and heavy attacks, or pull off special moves that are unique to each character.

This means Xbox One owners will only get the base game for free. However, the Ultimate Edition was only ever released on Xbox 360 in a physical capacity, so it does not exist digitally.

Injustice: Gods Among Us never came out on Xbox One, but you can play the Xbox 360 version through backwards compatibility. If you are an Xbox owner, this is where it gets a little disappointing. If you are still playing your PS3, more power to you get it for free. If you are primarily a PC player, you can get it and keep it on Steam, no questions asked. On the surface, this sounds like a wonderful gift, though it is more exclusive than it appears. That is why, as part of the #PlayAtHome campaign, WB Games is making Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition free for PC, Xbox, and PS4.
