Key Takeaways

- Luxury Battle Passes will cost 490 Lattice (roughly $5), while there will also be Free Battle Passes on offer too.
Marvel Rivals is just a couple of days away from its big launch, and with almost every character now revealed, there are still some questions about the title that have yet to be answered. One of the more pressing concerns was the game’s monetization, as Marvel Rivals being a free-to-play game means it will have some kind of premium currency and battle pass system like similar games in the genre.
Thankfully, more details about the game’s monetization were revealed in a new Dev Talk published on the game’s website, in which it explains what all the currencies in the game do, what you can use them for, and how much they’re worth. In the post, it explains that Marvel Rivals will have two currencies, those being Lattice and Units.

Marvel Rivals Is Everything Avengers Should Have Been
Marvel’s big break into multiplayer should’ve always been a hero shooter, not a looter shooter.
Lattice is your premium currency, setting you back roughly $1 for every 100 Lattice, while Units are the in-game currency you can earn from achievements, events, and battle passes. Units can also be exchanged into Lattice at a 1:1 ratio, though your primary source of Lattice will be through in-game transactions. Pretty standard stuff so far.
Marvel Rivals Luxury Battle Passes Will Never Expire
Moving on to Battle Passes, there will be two types available for players, those being Free and Luxury passes. Luxury Battle Passes are the ones you’ll need to spend 490 Lattice on to obtain, meaning they’ll set you back roughly five dollars at a pop. These passes are guaranteed five costumes, alongside other cosmetics, while the Free Battle Passes will cost you nothing and are guaranteed to include one “epic-quality” costume.
Finally, Marvel Rivals promises that any Luxury Battle Passes that you buy will never expire, meaning you have all the time in the world to earn the items from them. This is especially nice – and more like Helldivers 2’s Warbond system – as you won’t be rushing to earn things before they expire and risk wasting your money. We do love a game that respects our time.
