Marvel Rivals
Marvel Rivals is a free-to-play hero shooter video game developed and published by NetEase Games in collaboration with Marvel Games. The game was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on December 6, 2024, with a PlayStation 4 version released on September 12, 2025 and a Nintendo Switch 2 version currently in development. The game is free-to-play with a current lineup of 50 characters from Marvel Comics, and features cross-play across all supported platforms.
Marvel Comics has released two digital ongoing series based on the game: Marvel Rivals Infinity Comic (2024) and Marvel Rivals: Unleashed Infinity Comic (2025). Characters from the game have also been featured in other Marvel comic series.
The story follows a hostile meeting between Doctor Doom and his heroic 2099 counterpart, which causes a "timestream entanglement" that leads to new worlds being created and heroes and villains from across the multiverse fighting one another to defeat both Doom variants before one claims victory over the new worlds.
Marvel Rivals is a 6v6 third-person hero shooter title. The game features destructible environments, allowing players to alter the battlefield (which is overseen by Galacta). As of April 2026[update], there are 21 unique maps active in the game.
The game has seven modes:
Quick Match and Practice Vs. AI feature non-ranked games where three modes are available; Domination, Convoy, and Convergence. In Practise Vs. AI, AI opponents are used instead of real players.
Competitive also features the aforementioned modes but is unlocked at Level 15. Here, players occupy one of nine ranks, which each containing three tiers; at the beginning of each season, players carry out “placement matches”, which, alongside a projected rank based on past performance, are used to assign the player an initial rank for the respective season. During games, players are matched with others based on rank, with promotion and demotion between ranks occurring based on wins and losses. During games at Gold rank and higher, players are able to elect three heroes per team to be banned from use. Depending on their final rank, players are rewarded with cosmetic items at the end of each season.
Players can also partake in Tournament matches after both earning at least Platinum rank and joining a Faction. Tournament matches feature the same modes and rulesets as Competitive, typically in best of three or best of five formats using multiple matches of different game modes. There are three hero bans per team that apply solely to the opposing team, and there are two protect slots that prevent heroes from being banned. Custom Games allow any of the aforementioned modes and rulesets to be used.
