PlayStation recently announced that PS5 players and PS Plus subscribers will receive exclusive skins for Spider-Man and Peni Parker in Marvel Rivals. NetEase Games’ upcoming title features heroes and villains from the Marvel universe facing off against one another. As Marvel Rivals prepares for the launch on Friday, December 6, NetEase Games has ramped up marketing with various collaborations, crossovers, and free cosmetics.

Marvel Rivals is a free-to-play hero shooter that will feature crossplay at launch. It will not, however, feature cross-progression. NetEase Games recently announced several new heroes coming to Marvel Rivals at launch. The addition of these new characters brings the total roster of heroes and villains to 33. With so many characters to choose from, the developers hope players will be able to find the perfect match for their playstyle.

Black Widow’s Marvel Rivals gameplay has been revealed and it looks very similar to one of Overwatch’s most dangerous damage heroes.

A recent PlayStation.Blog post detailing the game’s PS5 Pro enhancements also highlighted the exclusive Scarlet Spider and VEN#m skins coming to the PS5 version of the game. All PS5 players will have the opportunity to claim Spider-Man’s red and black Scarlet Spider outfit, which paints the hero in a darker light, and the VEN#m skin is a more aggressive look for Peni Parker that can only be claimed by PS Plus subscribers. This isn’t the first time NetEase Games has decided to reward players with free cosmetics, though. Marvel Rivals is also giving a free Iron Man skin to players on launch day as a way of showing appreciation to its fans.

  • VEN#m (Peni Parker)


PlayStation also mentions that the game will have a Pro Mode that will allow it to run at 60 FPS with higher 4K resolutions than the base PS5. In addition to a High Frame Rate Mode that targets 120 FPS at higher resolutions, the PS5 Pro will offer players enhanced dynamic lighting. Marvel Rivals is just one of many games to benefit from PS5 Pro enhancements in Sony’s attempt to offer players a more immersive experience.

Many players love free rewards, and it seems Marvel Rivals is using this to its advantage. Earlier in 2024, fans had the opportunity to earn the Cyan Clash Venom skin by playing during the closed beta test. Starting on Friday, December 6, fans will be able to earn free cosmetics through Twitch drops. Marvel Rivals is also collaborating with Fortnite, offering Battle Royale players the ability to earn a free glider when they link their Epic Games and play ten matches of the hero shooter. All of these partnerships are likely an attempt to draw in as many players as possible in the hope that they will enjoy the game enough to keep playing.
