Many players resort to cheating to gain an unfair advantage in Marvel Rivals, using methods like auto-targeting for instant kills, wall-hacking, and one-hit eliminations. This cheating problem is reportedly increasing.
However, player reports suggest NetEase Games' anti-cheat measures are effective, successfully identifying and flagging suspicious activity within the game.
Dubbed the potential "Overwatch killer," Marvel Rivals has enjoyed a hugely successful Steam launch, boasting over 444,000 concurrent players on its first day—a number comparable to the population of Miami.
While optimization remains a concern, with some users (e.g., those with Nvidia GeForce 3050 GPUs) experiencing frame rate drops, many players find the game enjoyable and praise its fair monetization system.
A key positive is the non-expiring nature of battle passes. This removes the pressure to constantly grind, a significant factor influencing player perception of the game.
