Marvel Rivals is not currently playable. The last Marvel Rivals beta ended on August 4, and no further beta tests have been announced, beyond a special national test exclusively for China on October 18, as they were unable to participate in previous beta tests.

No Marvel Rivals beta is available. No more betas are expected; we'll have to wait until launch day, December 6.

Marvel Rivals launches as a free to play game, with no cost to play. All heroes at launch and beyond will also be free and available to everyone. Paid aspects of the game will be cosmetic only.

Marvel Rivals will be available to play on December 6 on PlayStation 5, XBox Series X/S, Steam, and Epic Games Store.

The highest scoring player on a match's winning team is flagged as Most Valuable Player, or MVP. The highest scoring player on the losing team is the Second-most Valuable Player, or SVP.

Marvel Rivals launches on all platforms December 6, 2024 at midnight UTC — that's 7pm EDT or 4pm PDT on December 5 for North America.

Yes, Marvel Rivals has cross play enabled for casual/quickplay matches and queues. The ranked competitive mode does not use cross play — PC players won't play against console players.

Yes, you can switch character at any time during a match, either while dead or when inside your team's current spawn room. This works in a very similar way to games like Overwatch.

The Winter Soldier's arm is made of vibranium, a nearly indestructible metal found in Wakanda. This advanced prosthetic arm enhances his strength, durability, and combat abilities, making him a formidable opponent. Vibranium also absorbs kinetic energy, providing additional protection in battles.

Marvel Rivals and Overwatch are both team-based hero shooters, but Marvel Rivals features iconic Marvel while Overwatch has an original cast. Marvel Rivals plays in third-person which makes melee characters easier to play, and has a heavier emphasis on team-fights and duelling.

Marvel Rivals is a team-based hero shooter much like Overwatch or Paladins, whereas Deadlock is more of a third-person MOBA and is closer to games like Smite; there is very little overlap between the two.
