Are you ready to step into the shoes of your favorite Marvel superheroes and villains in a thrilling new game? Marvel Rivals, the latest hero-shooter from NetEase Games, is here, and it’s offering an epic experience that fans of both Marvel and competitive shooters won’t want to miss. Here’s your guide on what Marvel Rivals is all about and how you can join the beta playtest.
What is Marvel Rivals?
Imagine a game where you can assemble a team of Marvel’s greatest heroes and villains, from Iron Man and Hulk to Spider-Man and Scarlet Witch. Now, throw in fast-paced, 6v6 team battles on destructible maps set across the Marvel Multiverse, and you’ve got Marvel Rivals! This game combines the strategic elements of a shooter with the iconic powers and personalities of Marvel characters.
Key Highlights:
- Diverse Roster: 21 iconic characters are available during the beta, with more to come in future updates.
- Unique Mechanics: Utilize “Team-Up Skills,” which allow characters to combine powers for spectacular results—like Hulk supercharging Iron Man’s suit with gamma energy!
- Cross-Platform Play: Battle it out with friends on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, thanks to full cross-platform support (with a few exceptions in competitive modes).
How to Join the Marvel Rivals Beta
The Marvel Rivals closed beta is happening now until August 5, 2024, and getting in can be your ticket to an early preview of the game. Here’s how to score a coveted beta code:
- Twitch Drops Adventure: From July 25 to July 28, head to Twitch and watch streams under the Marvel Rivals category. Look for streams tagged with “beta code drops enabled” in the title. Watch for at least 60 minutes, and you’ll get a beta code. It’s like a modern-day treasure hunt, only instead of gold, you get access to one of the hottest games of the year!
- Friendly Invitation: Know someone already in the beta? They can invite you! Players who reach level 6 can share an extra code with a friend. Time to check in with your gamer friends and see if they’ve got a spare invite!
- Community Events and Social Media: Keep an eye on Marvel Rivals’ official social media channels and Discord. They occasionally host events where you can win beta codes. It’s a great way to stay in the loop and maybe score some sweet early access.
Platforms and What You Need
Marvel Rivals is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The game features crossplay, allowing you to team up with friends across different platforms. Just a heads-up, competitive mode has separate pools for PC and console players to keep things balanced.
No subscription needed: Unlike some games, you don’t need a PS+ or Xbox Game Pass subscription to play the beta on consoles. Just an internet connection and you’re good to go!
