Marvel Rivals Will Release With Free Spider-Man Skins, Here’s How to Get Them

As a long-time Marvel enthusiast and avid gamer, I am beyond excited about the upcoming launch of Marvel Rivals! The opportunity to dive into the world of these iconic characters and engage in epic battles is truly a dream come true.

Players eagerly awaiting the launch of Marvel Rivals later this week can snag a couple of complimentary Spider-Man themed skins. Upon debut, Marvel Rivals boasts a roster of 33 characters spanning from iconic heroes such as Captain America, Wolverine, and Hulk to lesser-known figures like Jeff the Land Shark and Luna Snow. The diverse collection of characters will offer an array of distinct skins and cosmetics which can be acquired via the in-game shop once available.

Good news for Marvel Rivals enthusiasts! If you’re keen on securing some initial skins, developer NetEase Games has announced that they will be providing a few Spider-Man themed skins as a gift. Here’s how you can claim these free Marvel Rivals cosmetics:

How to Get the Free Scarlet Spider Spider-Man Skin

NetEase has given away their first free skin, which is modeled after the Scarlet Spider outfit for Spider-Man. This outfit is designed to resemble Kaine Parker’s version of Scarlet Spider but has been slightly adjusted to better fit with the aesthetic style of Marvel Rivals.

To unlock the Scarlet Spider skin in the game Marvel Rivals, you just need to have a PlayStation 5. If you’re thinking about playing Marvel Rivals on your PS5, then you’ll automatically receive this Spider-Man outfit when you start the game. Unfortunately, players using Xbox or PC won’t be able to obtain this Spider-Man skin right now because it’s a result of a partnership between PlayStation and NetEase Games. However, things might change in the future, but for the time being, anyone wearing the Scarlet Spider suit in Marvel Rivals is doing so because they’ve played on PS5.

How to Get the Free Peni Parker VEN#M Skin

Players of Marvel Rivals can expect to obtain a second free character skin this week that isn’t exactly linked with Spider-Man, but rather a character closely connected to him – Peni Parker. She gained prominence in the movie “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”. The upcoming free skin for Peni Parker, known as the “VEN#M Suit”, will make her mech look similar to Venom, the well-known symbiote.

In a change from previous releases, obtaining the Peni Parker skin on your PS5 will depend on your PlayStation membership status. Instead of giving the cosmetic to every PS5 user, NetEase and PlayStation have made it exclusive to PlayStation Plus subscribers. As part of a larger package that also includes a special spray can, MVP animation, and extra Season Pass tokens, those who are subscribed to PlayStation Plus will be able to earn the Peni Parker skin.

It’s important to mention that unlike the Scarlet Spider suit, the VEN#M suit designed for Peni Parker won’t exclusively be found only on PS5. PS Plus members can enjoy downloading it at no cost, but Xbox and PC users will have the option to purchase the bundle within the Marvel Rivals in-game store.

Regarding the upcoming release of Marvel Rivals, the eagerly awaited multiplayer game is set to debut this Thursday, December 6th on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. If you’re curious about what’s in store for Season 0 of Marvel Rivals, you can find all the details here.
