Expanding the Marvel Rivals Roster
The addition of the Fantastic Four brings Marvel Rivals’ roster to 37 playable characters, further diversifying the game’s already impressive lineup of heroes and villains.

Season 1 kicks off on January 10, delivering exciting updates and challenges for both fans and newcomers alike. The game is free-to-play on PlayStation 5, Windows PC via Steam & Epic Games Store, and Xbox Series X, offering an accessible entry point into the action-packed hero shooter.
