Rocksteady Studios had to remove Suicide Squad: Kill Justice League from the servers shortly after releasing its Deluxe Edition due to a bug that caused problems for players. The Deluxe Edition, which offered three days of early access for an extra $30, was supposed to be available in New Zealand on February 2. However, the game went offline shortly after its launch, and Rocksteady stated it would take a few hours to resolve the issue. It remains unclear whether the developer will issue refunds to customers who purchased the Deluxe Edition. Fans expressed frustration with the situation and criticized the handling of the game’s launch. Some players were disappointed by the addition of digital rights management (DRM) shortly before the game’s release, as they believe it affects performance. Furthermore, the offline mode, originally planned for later release, is now only expected to be added in 2024. The game’s previews were also met with criticism, with IGN stating that after the exciting story, the combat and open-world missions were uninspired. Rocksteady responded to the negative feedback by allowing fans with early access to share their thoughts through a closed alpha partnership.
