The latest Marvel Rivals patch is landing on June 26, 2025, and it’s packed with some cool new content plus essential fixes that should smooth out gameplay. No downtime means you can jump right back into the fray after the update. That’s nice!
First up, two fresh bundles are joining the store on June 27. Grab the Thor – Majestic Raiment Bundle and The Punisher – Daredevil: Born Again Bundle. Both look pretty slick and might disrupt your team comps.
On the gameplay side, the devs have lowered the votes needed to surrender in matches. Depending on your team size, it’s now a bit easier to call it quits:
| Team Size | Votes Required |
|---|---|
| 6 | 5 |
| 5 | 4 |
| 4 | 3 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 2 | 2 |
That should help avoid those awkward long games where everyone’s just waiting for the end, right?
Fixes
- All Platforms: Fixed an issue where the replay list for searched Factions during Closed Qualifiers mistakenly showed matches from Open Qualifiers.
- Winter Soldier: Bucky’s Ultimate Ability no longer gets interrupted if Captain America triggers their Team-Up Ability simultaneously. Now his ultimate will flow uninterrupted—finally!
- Magneto: The Iron Meteor ultimate won’t bounce unpredictably during high latency anymore. It stays put once destroyed, no more rogue Sentinel behavior.
- Mister Fantastic: Reed’s Distended Grip now correctly registers hits only when connecting, even at long distances. No more stretching too thin!
- Iron Fist: Lin Lie can’t move while grabbed by Squirrel Girl’s Squirrel Blockade during Jeet Kune Do in midair. His fists fly, but no squirrel acrobatics allowed.
- Doctor Strange: Fixed a bug where Stephen might miss Ultimate Ability Energy if enemies went through multiple portals before being knocked out. Now he always gets his mystical due.
Wow, some of these bugs were kinda wild! The Winter Soldier’s ultimate getting frozen mid-fury? Yikes. And Magneto’s Iron Meteor jumping around like a lost Sentinel—really? Glad those are sorted.
The Marvel Rivals world keeps evolving, and the devs seem on top of maintaining heroes feeling just right. What do you think about the new surrender vote changes and these hero fixes? Let me know in the comments below!
