Upon release, Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse received negative reviews. While praise fell towards its humor, characters, and return of the original cast, the game was criticized for its gameplay, graphics, and story. When the game was available for pre-order, people who pre-ordered the game received a special level, based on Aliens: Colonial Marines, another video game based on the Aliens trademark also owned by 20th Century Fox, which was released the next February to similar negative reception.

In December 2014, Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse was removed from Steam.
