Summary
- Marvel Rivals devs say it may come to Switch 2.
- However, this is only if the console runs the game to their expectations.
- Everyone still hates Jeff.
Along with NetEase, Marvel Rivals players are enjoying the success of the game as well. With The Thing And Human Torch set to arrive in a few days, the content calendar looks quite healthy, and the devs are also listening to the community, like in the case of the mid season ranked-reset.

Marvel Rivals Sets Outrageous Expectations With Season 1
No matter how NetEase tries to reset expectations, there will be a lot of disappointment in Marvel Rivals’ future.
While there is some grumbling about expensive skins, the microtransactions of the game aren’t as predatory as that of some others. Now, it looks like Marvel Rivals fans may have another reason to cheer. We already know that the Switch 2 is going to be compatible with more triple-A games than its predecessor, and the hero shooter just might be on the list.
Marvel Rivals Seemingly Coming To Switch 2
While the specs of the Switch 2 are yet to be revealed in a Nintendo Direct scheduled for April, we know that it will be able to run more next-gen games than its current iteration. It seems that NetEase is also working to ensure that Marvel Rivals will be able to run on the upcoming console.
Speaking to IGN at the DICE Summit in Las Vegas, producer Weicong Wu said that Marvel Rivals coming to Switch 2 is entirely possible, but only if it runs well.
We’re already in contact with Nintendo and working on some development kits,” said Wu. “And whenever we find that we could provide great performance for our game on Switch 2, we’re open to that. The reason why we didn’t launch it onto the Switch, it was the first generation of that device, they cannot provide a great experience for our gameplay. So if it could achieve that goal, we’re open to that.”
The game’s unique art style and optimised gameplay are only some of the reasons behind its success. We’ve seen plenty of games coming to the Switch without proper optimization and fail. So, it’s understandable why NetEase didn’t launch Marvel Rivals on the Switch, and will be doing its due diligence before deciding to launch it on Switch 2.
Wu’s comment about the development kit does raise our eyebrows though. It will be interesting to see which devs have received dev kits, giving us a clue at what games to expect on the Switch 2.
