Marvel Rivals Coming to PS5; Closed Beta Test Announced

May. 31, 2024



After initially revealing alaunchfor PC and building rapport among gamers, Marvel Rivals plans to entice PS5 gamers. The game has had limited closed betas the last couple of weeks, and the 5 v 5 Marvel-based shooter plans on pitting some of the popular Marvel characters against each other. The developers also want PS5 gamers to join in on the fun.

Venom, for example, can do a spike cannonball in the middle of a fight, damaging enemy teams. Storm uses her magical storm powers to devastate her opponents. Marvel Rivals has also showcased a first look at Adam Warlock’s gameplay.

PlayStation players will also receive an exclusive Spider-Man costume calledScarlet Spider. This costume has a unique color scheme and looks pretty solid, fitting the game’s overall aesthetics.

Well, we don’t have many free-to-play hero shooters on consoles outside the big names, so it is good to see Marvel Rivals arriving for PlayStation 5. What I do want to see is whether they’ll also release the game for Xbox.

After all, the green team has a Blade game currently in development under Arkane Lyon. Hence, it makes sense for Marvel Rivals to introduce the game if Blade joins the team.

So, what do you think about Marvel Rivals arriving on PS5? Do you plan on jumping into the closed beta in the upcoming months? Have you played the game previously on PC? What are your impressions about it? Let me know in the comments below.
