EVO 2022 features an assortment of different fighting games, each with varying prize pools. This guide will explain how big each game’s prize pool is at EVO 2022.

WB’s latest platform fighter, Multiversus, is the only game at this year’s EVO with a set prize pool. The Multiversus prize pool is set to $100,000, raised by every player who enters the tournament. Since Multiversus at EVO will be a two versus two event, the prize pool should increase significantly by the time it’s over. The winning team will split the grand prize amount, which will be no less than $42,000.
