Marvel’s Avengers has had a rocky road since release, with Square Enix reportedly losing $62million in the quarter it was released. Before that, the game was seeing a massive loss in its player count, although developer Crystal Dynamics stated it was “confident” players will return.

Other updates have also been made over the past few weeks, adding new outposts, Tachyon Rifts mission, and other post-launch content to keep players invested.
