Marvel Rivals Set to Launch With Unique Battle Pass and Crossplay Features

The free-to-play hero shooter debuts December 6 with a roster of 33 Marvel characters and innovative monetization strategies.

Marvel Rivals introduces a groundbreaking Battle Pass system where purchased passes never expire, allowing players to unlock rewards at their own pace.
The game features 33 playable Marvel heroes and villains at launch, including Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Scarlet Witch, with additional characters planned for future updates.
Marvel Rivals supports crossplay across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S for casual modes, but competitive play remains platform-specific; cross-progression is not available at launch but may be added later.
Cosmetic items, including skins inspired by Marvel comics and films, are the primary monetization focus, with free and premium currencies available for purchase or earned through gameplay.
Season 0, titled 'Doom's Rise,' offers a reduced-cost Battle Pass with exclusive skins and rewards, running until early January 2025.
