Marvel Rivals offers a breathtaking experience with a roster full of beloved heroes. From Wolverine to Moon Knight and Iron Fist to Thor, players are diving into battles to find their perfect main. It seems like this game is set to shake things up for long-standing favorites like Overwatch, which is a tall order indeed!
Last Sunday evening, Marvel Rivals hit a new all-time high on platforms like Steam. Can you believe it? The game peaked at an impressive count of 480,990 concurrent users, surpassing heavyweights like Fallout 4 and Grand Theft Auto V.
