Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls launch has achieved phenomenal success, surpassing 560,000 concurrent players on Steam, setting a new record for the game. This surge in popularity is fueled by the introduction of exciting new content.
The new season introduces the Fantastic Four – Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman – as playable heroes, battling Dracula who has ensnared Doctor Strange and seized control of New York City. A substantial mid-season update promises the arrival of Human Torch and The Thing, further expanding the roster.
New maps enhance the gameplay experience. Players can explore Midtown during convoy missions and engage in the new Doom Match mode within the mystical Sanctum Sanctorum. This influx of fresh content is clearly a key factor in attracting both new and returning players.
SteamDB data confirms this remarkable achievement, highlighting the game's all-time peak concurrent player count exceeding 560,000 during the Season 1 launch. While overall player numbers across all platforms remain unknown, the Steam figures strongly indicate a highly successful season launch. To celebrate, Marvel Rivals is hosting a contest on its Discord server, offering a $10 Steam gift card for players who share exciting gameplay moments or screenshots.
This impressive milestone follows the game's earlier success, achieving a broad player base across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. NetEase Games announced 20 million players had joined Marvel Rivals since its December 6, 2024, launch, a number expected to grow further with the ongoing success of Season 1.
NetEase Games' strategy of offering enticing free content has played a significant role in attracting players. The Midnight Features event rewards players with a free Thor skin, while Twitch Drops provide a free Hela skin for viewers. The Season 1 Darkhold battle pass also offers free skins for Peni Parker and Scarlet Witch, even without purchasing the premium version. This generous approach to free content is generating significant excitement for the future of Marvel Rivals.
