Is Marvel Rivals A Free-To-Play Game?
In short, yes! Marvel Rivals is entirely free-to-play and you can download it on Steam, PC, and Console and play right now.
The game is available for PC through Steam, Xbox Series X/S through the Microsoft Store, and on PlayStation 5 in the PlayStation Store. But make sure to read up on Marvel Rivals crossplay options before you commit to either platform.
We definitely recommend the game. Marvel Rivals is very similar to Overwatch 2, but there are some notable differences.

What are Marvel Rivals’ Microtransactions Like?
As with any FTP game, Marvel Rivals does have micro transactions, but the game has a rather unique system. Yes, you can buy skins and cosmetics, as well as a battle pass, but unlike some hero shooters, it’s a persistent battle pass that can always be purchased. That means no FOMO, so you’re not forced to buy something or miss out.
This, along with the fact that it’s one of the first times you can play with Marvel super heroes in a competitive environment outside of fighting games like Marvel vs. Capcom, means that Marvel Rivals is fast becoming one of the most popular games around.
