The game was released late Thursday evening,g and in just a matter of hours, the game reached thousands of concurrent players. Marvel Rivals, as of the morning of December 6, 2024, has reached 444,286 concurrent players on Steam.

The Overwatch-inspired hero shooter was in beta earlier this year on console and PC. It has been well received thus far including its Battle Pass. Ahead of launch, NetEase announced that players will not have to rush through the Battle Pass and can continue working on it ahead of its released season. For example, if you didn’t finish the Season 1 Pass you can continue that into Season 2 or even Season 3.

Marvel Rivals released with 33 Heroes at launch and there are plans to have even more come post-launch including Blade who has been leaked already.
