The new addition to the PlayStation Now catalog was revealed in a blog post on Monday. The 2020 role-playing brawler “Marvel’s Avengers” headlines the lineup. Its base game will be playable through the subscription-based cloud gaming platform that also lets players for a team of four through an online multiplayer mode.

“Marvel’s Avengers” was developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix that features the beloved squad of superheroes who appear in an original story.
