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:

- 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!
