Marvel Rivals Hits 20 Million Players in Just 11 Days

The free-to-play superhero shooter from NetEase celebrates its rapid success with rewards and a festive Winter Celebration update.

Marvel Rivals, a 6v6 team-based PvP shooter, reached 20 million players within 11 days of its December 6 launch across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X.
The game achieved 10 million players in its first three days, driven by its roster of 33 Marvel superheroes and fast-paced gameplay inspired by Overwatch.
NetEase is offering a free in-game spray commemorating the milestone, available to players who log in between December 20, 2024, and January 10, 2025.
A Winter Celebration update will launch on December 19, introducing holiday-themed costumes, a new game mode called 'Jeff's Winter Splash Festival,' and seasonal gifts.
Marvel Rivals has been praised for its polished gameplay, engaging art direction, and generous content, distinguishing it from past live-service superhero games.
