Is Marvel Rivals coming to PS4 and Xbox One?

Which platforms will support Marvel Rivals?

NetEase Games' Marvel Rivals will be available exclusively on the PlayStation 5, macOS, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Microsoft Windows. As discussed by the developers, the latest Hero-shooter will not be made available on any older generation console, such as the Microsoft Xbox One, PS4, or even the Nintendo Switch.

This brand-new hero shooter features fantastic graphics and some of the most visually appealing art that has been brought to life using Unreal Engine 5. Naturally, the game has quite steep demands when it comes to processing power. Hence, we believe that this is the reason why MR will solely be available on PC, and the newer generation console platforms like the PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

What sets Marvel Rivals apart from other Hero-shooters?

Marvel Rivals competes with popular FPS titles, such as Overwatch 2, Paladins, Team Fortress 2, and so on. With a roster full of Heroes and Villains from the Marvel Universe, players will be able to take part in immersive team-centered gameplay.

A major element that sets this game apart from its competition is the 'Team-up' ability. With this, two or more characters can combine their skills to execute a more powerful attack together. These mechanics allow players to take the game from a team-centric perspective over individually fragging.

Furthermore, the game also features a destructible environment which not only adds a fun spin to your matches but allows you to execute unique combos to demolish your opponents.
