Summary
- Marvel Rivals has hit 20 million players in less than 2 weeks after launch.
- A celebratory spray featuring Galactica is being made available to mark the occasion, which you can grab by logging in between Dec 20 – Jan 10.
Marvel Rivals has truly stormed onto the scene in recent weeks, establishing itself as a possible Overwatch killer that Blizzard will need to keep a close eye on. It has plenty of issues at the moment, being fresh out the gates from a developer that doesn’t have that much experience with the hero shooter genre, but that hasn’t stopped millions from diving into the game to give it a try.
Just 72 hours after launch, Marvel Rivals managed to hit the ten million player mark, and now less than two weeks later, it’s already hit another massive milestone. Announced via the Marvel Rivals Twitter account, NetEase has revealed that the game has now reached the 20 million player mark.
Marvel Rivals Has Already Hit 20 Million Players
In the tweet, the developer behind the title says their gratitude for every player that has joined the fray so far is “immense”, and that they’re giving away a celebratory spray to mark the occasion. You can see this spray in the tweet emedded above, which features an adorable little drawing of Galactica, who is celebrating after reaching 20 million Rivals.

Marvel Rivals’ Success Will Be Down To More Than Just Its IP
Keeping people playing a live service game requires more than well-known heroes, and Rivals is already demonstrating it’s well aware of that.
To get this spray, you’ll need to simply log in between December 20 and January 10, and you can spray Galactica on the walls to your hearts’ content. There’s every chance you’ll get it naturally anyway, as you’ll more than likely be playing Marvel Rivals at some point soon thanks to the Winter Celebration holiday event, which includes a lot of new skins (including a very caked up Venom skin) and a new game mode inspired by Splatoon.
In other Marvel Rivals news, NetEase also recently addressed recent calls for a role queue system to be added, with many getting frustrated about playing in a team of nothing but Duelists. Unfortunately, it’s not something that the developers are considering at the moment, as NetEase wants to try and encourage lots of different team compositions. Looks like we’ll just have to try and coordinate among ourselves.
