Many gamers resort to cheating to gain an unfair advantage in Marvel Rivals, employing tactics like auto-targeting for instant eliminations or shooting through walls for one-hit kills. This cheating problem is escalating within the game's player base.
However, player reports suggest NetEase Games' anti-cheat measures are proving effective, with the game's systems successfully identifying and flagging suspicious activity.
Dubbed by some as the "Overwatch killer," Marvel Rivals has enjoyed a highly successful Steam launch, boasting impressive sales figures. Its first-day peak player count surpassed 444,000, a number comparable to the population of Miami.
Optimization remains a key area of concern. Players using graphics cards like the Nvidia GeForce 3050 have reported noticeable frame rate drops. Despite this, many players agree that Marvel Rivals offers an enjoyable experience without being overly time-consuming or expensive. Its monetization system is also praised for its user-friendliness.
A significant positive is the non-expiring nature of battle passes. This removes the pressure to constantly grind, a feature likely to influence player perception of the game positively.
