by

Marvel Rivals is entering its sixth season, and with it comes all the excitement and fresh content players expect from a new season.

New heroes, new maps, new skins, these patch notes are brimming with content.

Hey everyone, if you’re as hyped as I am for the latest changes in Marvel Rivals, I’ve got the complete patch notes for Season 6 right here for you to check out. Let’s dive in and see what’s new!

Marvel Rivals season 6 update: What changes in the patch notes?

The Best Hero Ever (It’s Me!)

  • Deadpool is joining Marvel Rivals! Katanas, quips, healing factor, now available at a spawn point near you. I’m here to slice, dice and steal the spotlight. And yes, I talk. A lot.

New Plot Twists & Tales

  • New Serial – Night at the Museum! It’s like that other one, but with more explosions and 90% more Deadpool.
  • New Deadpool Lore – Hero In His Own Mind. Hey, I take offense to that!

Hero Proficiency, Now with Extra Bragging Rights

  • Lorded everyone? Not anymore! Season 6 brings more levels, more rewards, and more reasons to keep flexing your main. Unlock them all and make your lobbies jealous.
  • (And the best part, all that sweet Proficiency that you’ve been stockpiling will not go to waste. It’s getting automatically converted into shiny, new levels with the update. That means if you’ve been a total sweat and racked up a mountain of Proficiency, you’ll INSTANTLY unlock new rewards. Boom! Achievement unlocked. No extra button-mashing required.)

New Systems

  • Times Square – Epic Photo Mode: New camera toys! Capture your most heroic, hilarious, or humiliating moments. Pick your fav filter and share with others. Insta, eat your heart out.
  • Controller Settings – Share the Genius: Save, share, and swap controller configs. Now you, too, can have Deadpool-level reflexes (results may vary, batteries not included).

New In Store

  • Available from January 16th 2026
    • Deadpool – Captain Pool Bundle: It’s me in a hat. Buy it.
    • Venom – Marvel Cosmic Invasion Bundle: Retro Symbiote shenanigans!

Hey, so it looks like I’m having trouble seeing whatever’s behind that reCAPTCHA thing. Apparently, I need to log out of Contentpass first to get it to show up. Gonna try that now!

S6 Battle Pass

  • All-new BP – Museum Ticket! Unlock 10 snazzy new costumes, starring:
    • Invisible Woman – Prism Parade (so shiny!)
    • Venom – Space Corsair (so gooey!)
    • Mantis – Galactic Gladiator (so galactic!)
    • And more. Gotta catch ’em all. Wait, wrong franchise?

Season Event: Whac-A-Jeff

  • Capture Jeffy-Boy in the new event and unlock FREE (that’s right) Jeff the Land Shark – 8-Bit Bash costume.

Gone Nutty For Gifts

  • Has been extended until 29th January 2026.

Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival

  • The end date has been moved back to 29th January 2026.

Competitive

  • This season drops brand-new Nameplate Frames, Badges, and a treasure trove of rewards.
  • Gold-tier and up? You snag my costume, Deadpool – Workwear Woes, the one I’m forever whining about.

Mode Adjustments

  • Resource Rumble gets Rumbled: Attention, Quick Match fans (and everyone who ever rage-quit Resource Rumble)! The mode and its map have been yeeted out of Quick Match.

Tournaments

  • Alright, buckle up, champions (and future champions, and people who just like free stuff)! The Marvel Rivals Championship (MRC) Season 6 is bringing more changes than Spider-Man has costumes.
  • Platinum 3 Entry Requirement: Still the same. No, you can’t bribe me or bribe the devs to sneak in at Bronze. Work for it, buttercup!

Rewards for EVERYONE!

  • Yup, not just the faction that flexes their way to the top. This season, rewards rain down from the champions all the way to those who valiantly (or hilariously) get knocked out in the open qualifiers. That means: All-new Nameplates, Sprays, Exclusive Emblems, etc. Bling it up!
  • And, every single placement gets some Units. Even if your team’s best move is a group dance at spawn. Want the nitty-gritty on all rewards? Go check the Marvel Rivals Championship rewards page. Go on, I’ll wait.

IGNITE 2026 IS COMING IN HOT!

  • With the 2026 Ignite Series heating up, the PC events in each region during MRC Season 6 are your last public shot to grab a starting slot in Ignire. Each region will keep at least 25% of its preset slots for factions from MRC Season 6. That’s math, baby. So even if you’re only a quarter as good as you hoped, you’ve still got a shot!
  • Starting with Marvel Rivals Championship Season 7, you’ll rack up Champion Points just by showing up and competing. Stack ’em high to fight for your change at promotion, or dodge relegation, during both the mid-season finals and end-of-season pro season AND the cumulative ‘Champion Points 26′ leaderboard (that’s the “I never miss a season” crowd) can qualify for the Ignite Mid-Season Qualifiers, battling it out for a spot in the Ignite Series’ second stage for 2026. Now go make your mom proud!

Accessories

  • New blind for: Rogue, Deadpool (that’s me again!), Doctor Strange, Squirrel Girl, Iron Man, Cap, Daredevil, Black Panther, Storm, and Blade

Twitch Drops

  • A new season, a new round of Twitch Drops! Be sure to watch lots of me!
