Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is getting a new update today that adds online lobbies and a spectator mode to make it play more like a full-fledged fighting game.

The online lobbies will hold up to eight players and let them fight across four separate matches simultaneously. As people finish, they can then spectate the remaining matches rather than be stuck waiting until the next group of matches is ready.
The update also adds cross-play and cross-progression to the PS4 version of the game, uniting that player-base with their fellow Rangers on Xbox One, Switch, and PC. While I can’t vouch for the stability and performance of an eight-person lobby with players from across four different platforms, it at least sounds cool.
When Power Rangers released last March it was missing a lot of stuff, including many of the Power Rangers themselves. Developer nWay has slowly been adding to the game since then, and the base version now has 12 fighters while two season passes add up to six more. It also got a story mode, which, despite being promised, was missing at launch.
