Marvel Rivals Reaches a New Player Milestone With Season 1

Marvel Rivals Season 1 Shatters Records with Over 560,000 Concurrent Steam Players

Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls launch has broken its own Steam concurrent player record, exceeding 560,000 players. This impressive milestone is fueled by the introduction of Fantastic Four heroes, new maps like the Sanctum Sanctorum, and a thrilling new game mode, Doom Match.

The new season plunges players into a captivating storyline where Dracula's takeover of New York City necessitates the Fantastic Four's intervention. Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman are immediately playable, with Human Torch and The Thing slated for a major mid-season update.

Beyond the new heroes, players can explore fresh environments, including the Sanctum Sanctorum (the setting for the new Doom Match mode) and Midtown, featured in a convoy mission. NetEase Games' commitment to engaging content is evident in this substantial update.

This record-breaking player count, as confirmed by SteamDB, represents a significant success for Season 1. While total player numbers across all platforms remain undisclosed, the Steam figures strongly indicate a highly successful season launch. Steam players can also participate in a contest to win a $10 Steam gift card by sharing exciting gameplay moments on the game's Discord server.

A Continuing Success Story

Marvel Rivals' success extends beyond this latest milestone. Since its December 6, 2024 launch, it has already amassed 20 million players across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. With Season 1's strong start, this player base is expected to continue growing.

NetEase Games is actively attracting new players with generous free content. The Midnight Features event offers a free Thor skin, Twitch Drops provide a free Hela skin, and the Darkhold battle pass includes free skins for Peni Parker and Scarlet Witch, even without purchasing the premium version. This commitment to rewarding players is a key factor in Marvel Rivals' continued success.
