Marvel Game Surpasses Milestone with New Season

Marvel Rivals Shatters Steam Player Records with Season 1 Launch

Season 1: Eternal Night Falls has propelled Marvel Rivals to a record-breaking 560,000 concurrent players on Steam, a significant milestone for the hero shooter. The new season introduces the Fantastic Four, battling Dracula's takeover of New York City. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman are immediately playable, with Human Torch and The Thing slated for a major mid-season update.

New environments enhance the gameplay experience. Midtown serves as a backdrop for convoy missions, while the Sanctum Sanctorum hosts the thrilling new Doom Match mode. This influx of fresh content is clearly attracting both new and returning players.

SteamDB data confirms this unprecedented player peak, exceeding all previous concurrent player counts. While overall player numbers across all platforms remain unconfirmed, the Steam figures strongly suggest a highly successful Season 1 launch. To further incentivize players, a Steam gift card contest is underway, rewarding players who share exciting gameplay moments or screenshots on the game's Discord server.

Marvel Rivals' Continued Success

This achievement builds on Marvel Rivals' previous success, having already amassed 20 million players across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S since its December 6, 2024 launch. Anticipation is high for continued growth following Season 1's impressive debut.

NetEase Games is actively engaging players with generous free content. The Midnight Features event offers a free Thor skin, while Twitch Drops provide a free Hela skin for viewers. The Season 1 Darkhold battle pass also includes free skins for Peni Parker and Scarlet Witch, even without purchasing the premium version. This commitment to free rewards is undoubtedly contributing to the game's popularity and fuels excitement for future updates.
