Infinite would offer newly-published DC Comics titles one year (later shortened to six months) after their retail release date, early access to DC Comics' digital-first titles, exclusive comics created for the service, and access to 24,000 titles from DC's back catalog. DC Universe subscriptions were automatically transferred over to DC Universe Infinite upon its launch. In August 2022, DC Comics rebranded their online presence to be simply "DC", which in turn allowed users to have a similar user profile between DC's website and DC Universe Infinite.
