Destruction AllStars released on PlayStation Plus at the start of this month, and it's fair to say it's not made a huge dent. The PS5 exclusive multiplayer smash-em-up definitely has some things going for it, but it's not quite hooked the big audience it's aiming for. Of course, developer Lucid Games isn't giving up that easily; on the PlayStation Blog, it's detailed some of the updates coming to the title over the next couple of months.
The roadmap for March and April include the introduction of new Challenge Series events — the ones that cost premium currency — but there's plenty on the way if you don't want to spend any extra dosh. Double XP weekends will help you level up faster, and lots of new skins are being added to the game. Most interesting are featured playlists, which will include limited time modes such as an 8v8 version of Mayhem, 4v4 Stockpile, and solo Carnado. April teases a few surprises, as well.
It seems Lucid Games definitely has a plan to keep people playing — now it just needs to put everything into action. In other news, the game's price point for when it leaves PS Plus has been revealed; read more about that through the link.

This will follow in the footsteps of Anthem. Just a guess, but I wouldn't invest heavily in any online purchases for a game that will probably end up shutting it's servers off before the year is out.
I have fun with it for short bursts. My biggest issue is with how long it takes to find a match, it kills the flow and makes me want to play something else.
"Double XP weekends will help you level up faster, and lots of new skins are being added to the game"
This is my main complaint about the game I think, the game is fun enough to play a few rounds a day, but for an online game personalization of your characters is key and if you have to level up 8 times just to buy a skin it just doesn't work. To me it takes away the possibility of playing an extra round or two in order to gain coins and buy a skin, or to be fair the interest on playing to get a skin or any kind of personalization.
This game is embarrassing and is exactly why Sony should stick to single player experiences!!
And they're still going to charge money for the puny-ass challenge series stuff....
Fun game, I got the platinum this past weekend. All I do now is help people boost the awful character specific trophies. They better add more game modes then just iterations on the already existing ones.
This is the type of junk you put on PC big Jim, exclusives that won't hurt your main system if they go elsewhere and could still make you money on PC.
