Marvel Rivals Is Truly Unstoppable As It Tops 20 Million Players

by

As a seasoned gamer with decades under my belt, I can confidently say that Marvel Rivals has managed to turn the tables on those who declared the death of free-to-play live service games. With over 20 million players across platforms within just two weeks, it’s clear that this game is not only unstoppable but also a testament to the enduring appeal of superhero narratives in gaming.

Contrary to claims that free-to-play live service games have met their end, Marvel Rivals and Infinity Nikki have proven otherwise. Marvel Rivals alone has amassed over 20 million players across all platforms in merely two weeks, achieving this milestone with Jeff the Land Shark’s seasonal Splatoon mode yet to be introduced.

In honor of the event, NetEase invites everyone to log in from 20th December through 10th January for a complimentary festive in-game treat!

The astonishing achievement of Marvel Rivals is more than just spectacular; it’s truly earned. The artistic design is otherworldly, and the gameplay rhythm is delightful, particularly with the DualSense controller that skillfully leverages haptic technology.

Although a live-action hero game with a license appears to be a guaranteed hit, it’s important to keep in mind the lukewarm reviews and low sales figures experienced by games such as Marvel’s Avengers and Suicide Squad: Justice Is Dead.

Beyond offering an abundance of content, Marvel Rivals is also a meticulously refined objectives-based multiplayer game. While it has some kinks to work out and balancing adjustments, the game richly deserves the acclaim it’s receiving, with even greater achievements on the horizon.
