The latest update for Marvel Rivals, specifically Version 20250411, introduces interesting new content just in time for the highly expected Hellfire Gala event. Players can expect new heroes, costumes, maps, and seasonal events to enrich their gameplay experience.

1. New Content

1.1 All Platforms

Heroes and Costumes

1. Emma Frost makes her dazzling debut in Marvel Rivals!

2. New Costumes: Emma Frost – X-Revolution & Blue Sapphire!

Maps and Modes

1. Get ready for an all-new Domination map – Hellfire Gala: Krakoa.

2. Map Rotation Update: Hellfire Gala: Krakoa will enter the Competitive pool, while Yggsgard: Royal Palace and Tokyo 2099: Shin-Shibuya will be retired from ranked play. Tournament maps will align with the competitive mode, while Quick Match and Custom Game will still feature all maps without rotation.

3. Optimized the settlement logic for substitute players in Quick Match battles: victories will count normally, while losses will not affect combat history or scoreboard.

Battle Pass and Season Events

1. Unlock a dazzling shiny new Battle Pass featuring 10 brand new sets of heroic costumes!

2. The season event Cerebro Database has officially launched; participate to earn the free costume Mantis – Flora Maiden.

3. This season also brings exclusive bonus seasonal rewards: Complete 9 matches to receive the free costume Scarlet Witch – Chaos Gown.

4. An all-new Twitch Drops event is here! This event will gift players the Namor – Will of Galacta costume, nameplate, spray, and emote. (Stay tuned to official announcements for details!)

5. The mission system has been revamped: new weekly missions and rewards have been added, and the balance of daily and challenge missions has been adjusted while maintaining the overall Chrono Token distribution. The proportion of hero-specific missions has also been reduced.

Ranked

1. Rank Reset: based on your final Season 1.5 rank, ranks will be demoted by 9 divisions. For example, if you ended Season 1.5 at Diamond I, your Season 2 journey begins at Silver I.

2. New rank rewards are in! A dazzling new costume for reaching Gold — Emma Frost – Golden Diamond, along with new Crests of Honor for Grandmaster, Celestial, Eternity, and Top 500.

3. The minimum level required for new players to participate in Competitive has been adjusted to 15. (If you have previously completed at least one valid competitive match, you can still join Competitive in Season 2.0 even if you are below level 15.)

4. Pick/ban will now come into play starting from Gold III rather than Diamond tier.

5. When a team includes players from Eternity or One Above All, only solo or duo queuing will be allowed.

6. Currently, the score you earn per Competitive match is determined by both the outcome and your individual performance. After Season 2.0 launches, we will be increasing the weight of individual performances. The better you perform, the more points you will earn in victory, and the fewer points you will lose in defeat.

1.2 PC

Graphics and Settings

1. We’ve introduced an experimental feature: Switch Shader Compilation Mode. When activated, shaders will only compile the first time you launch the game after a new version or graphics driver update. This feature can significantly reduce memory usage and minimize in-game stuttering. —Especially on systems with 16 GB of RAM or less.

However, if you’re using a CPU with less threads in combination with AMD FSR3 Frame Generation, you may notice occasional additional stutters with this feature enabled.

*Please note: This is an experimental feature. If you encounter any issues during use, our support team is standing by ready to assist.

2. We’ve added support for AMD FSR 4, using an AI-accelerated upscaling algorithm to deliver image quality improvements over AMD FSR 3.1. (Available exclusively on the AMD Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics cards)
