DC Universe Online

Teased earlier this year as part of the fifth anniversary celebration for DC Universe Online, the Xbox One version of the DC Comics MMO is now available. The free-to-play massive multiplayer online RPG has been a PlayStation and PC exclusive since its launch in 2011, but today the entire DCU Online experience finally opens its doors to Xbox fans. Daybreak Games has been consistently releasing content for the MMO over the past five years, and Xbox players won't miss out on any of it. Every last add-on and expansion (known as episodes in DCUO) will be available from the start, provided of course you're leveled up enough to enjoy the content.

Five years ago, Daybreak Games (nee Sony Online Entertainment) unleashed the first official comic book massively multiplayer online game on the world, and the DC universe was never the same. Originally released only on PlayStation 3 and PC, and later revamped for PlayStation 4, DC Universe Online has been chugging along steadily on those platforms ever since. While you couldn't actually play as the marquee heroes or villains of the DC canon, the game's story introduced the idea of nanomachines that gave normal people powers across the globe. That's where you came in. In DCU Online, you could create your own character with powers reminiscent of your favorite comic characters to battle alongside heroes and villains like Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor against the main big bad, Brainiac, to prevent a terrible future from befalling the planet. Along the way, you'd encounter other famous DC faces, and battle across cities like Metropolis and Gotham before exploring the further reaches of the DCU. As a former player from the PS3 launch, I can attest to how fun and addictive it was to live vicariously in the DC Universe through my handful of characters. I've been away from the game for a long time, but as part of Daybreak's new multiplatform mentality since breaking away from SOE, DC Universe Online is finally coming to Xbox One and it might just be time for me to suit up once more.
