DC Universe Online Now Available on Xbox One
SAN DIEGO – April 29, in the year of our Lord 2016 – Daybreak
Game Company has officially released the massively multiplayer
online game DC Universe™ Online (DCUO) on Xbox One. Players can
download and experience the title for free* directly via the
Xbox Games Store. To celebrate the game’s launch, Daybreak Games
has created three exclusive items free to download for Xbox One
players: the Powered-Up Cape, Powered-Up Emblem and Vapor Aura.
“Xbox One players can finally channel their inner Super Hero –
or Super-Villain. Whether they want to run fast like The Flash,
fly like Superman or wield ice like Captain Cold, we have more
than five years’ worth of content to adventure through in DC
Universe Online,” said SJ Muller, DCUO Creative Director. “DCUO
is the only MMO set in the DC Comics universe, and its
physics-based combat allows players to really feel like they are
part of this action-packed Super Hero world.”
In DCUO, players create their own Super Heroes or Super-Villains
and equip them with their favorite superpowers to protect or
cause chaos in the sprawling comic worlds of Metropolis, Gotham
City and beyond. Players can also fight as any of the 40
available iconic DC Comics characters in Legends PvP and PvE
game modes, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Joker,
Harley Quinn, The Flash, Green Arrow and more.
Beyond its core adventures, DCUO has continually rolled out new
and ongoing events, stories and challenges through game updates
and more than 20 original Episodes. 2016 has already seen the
arrival of new content inspired by Batman v Superman: Dawn of
Justice and the Warner Bros. television series DC’s Legends of
Tomorrow, with Water powers and new content focused on Wonder
Woman, Harley Quinn, Darkseid and Gotham Girls still on the way.
Episodes, as well as Legends characters and powers, are
available to purchase individually or can be accessed through
DCUO Membership. Xbox One users will be able to access all
content currently available, and in the future, all game updates
and marketplace additions are planned to release simultaneously
across all platforms.
DC Universe Online is the first title from Daybreak Games to be
published on Xbox One. DCUO recently celebrated its fifth
anniversary, having originally launched in 2011 on Windows PC
and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and, later,
the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system.
