Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League did not have a great start. Multiple server outages and errors have made players want to quit before even really starting.
Just an hour after early access for the new Suicide Squad game was released, the game was already shut down for some maintenance, meaning players wouldn't even be able to truly enjoy this new adventure.
More and more issues came up which have frustrated players who paid around $100 for the early access version of the game. Was it truly worth it?
Suicide Squad Servers Down For Maintenance... Again
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has opened for early access, and players quickly realized that the servers couldn't handle the players. Making a game available only online requires the servers to be able to handle the player base, right? Well, Suicide Squad failed at that it seems.
Only an hour into the game's Deluxe Edition early access launch, the game was taken offline due to a huge bug, which completed the entire story... simply by logging in for the first time.
We're aware that a number of players are currently experiencing an issue whereby upon logging into the game for the first time, they have full story completion.To resolve this issue, we will be performing maintenance on the game servers. During this time the game will be...

But that wasn't the only issue with the game upon release. Throughout the launch day, the servers were down for maintenance on multiple occasions, with players getting logged out each and every time.
John Linneman of Digital Foundry posted about the game on Twitter/X, saying that they were in a pretty cool scene with Batman when they were logged out due to server maintenance, calling it a "mood killer".
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League not sending out review codes and then launching early for people who paid $100+ to preorder only for the servers to immediately be taken down because of a massive bug that auto-completed the game for you on start up is, uh, y'know, good sign

Along with server issues, some players also didn't receive their in-game DLC content, which prompted more server shut-downs for fixes as well, meaning players couldn't get to playing the game once more.
These issues have players asking why this is an online only game, where even those playing the game in single player mode are affected by these problems. Players are rightfully upset with the bad start of the game, especially after having spent so much money on it.
Rocksteady Studios is going to have to clean up these mistakes ahead of the official launch on February 2, when even more players are going to be picking up the game.
