Many gamers resort to cheating to gain an unfair advantage in Marvel Rivals, employing tactics like instant auto-targeting, wall-hacking, and one-hit kills. This cheating problem is reportedly increasing.
However, player feedback suggests NetEase Games' anti-cheat measures are proving effective in identifying and addressing cheater activity within the game.
Dubbed the "Overwatch killer" by some, Marvel Rivals has enjoyed a successful Steam launch, boasting over 444,000 concurrent players on its first day—a number comparable to the population of Miami.
While optimization remains a concern, with frame rate drops observed on cards like the Nvidia GeForce 3050, many players find the game enjoyable and praise its fair monetization system. A key feature is the non-expiring battle pass, eliminating the pressure of needing to constantly grind. This aspect alone could significantly influence player perception of the game.
