Roblox's Rivals receives Update 9, introducing the Gunblade and Bridge map. This smaller update focuses on new content rather than bug fixes or balance changes, a deliberate choice by developer Nosniy Games to prioritize the upcoming Ranked mode.

Update 9 also includes:
Nosniy Games assures players that bug fixes, balance adjustments, and quality-of-life improvements will be included in the next major update, which will finally introduce the highly anticipated Ranked mode. The developers emphasize their commitment to player feedback and incorporating necessary changes before the Ranked launch. For a complete list of patch notes, see below.
