Marvel Rivals Platforms – Where Can You Play The Game?

Introduction

---

Marvel Rivals has quickly taken its space in the competitive shooter world. It’s a hero-shooter game with fast-paced combat, featuring Marvel’s iconic characters. As a result, the game attracts a diverse range of players, including those who love hero-shooters and those who want to play as their favorite Marvel characters. If you want in on the action, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about which platforms Marvel Rivals is playable on.

What Platforms is Marvel Rivals Available On?

---

In short, Marvel Rivals is available on most platforms. The game is available on both the PS5 (as well as the Pro) and Xbox Series X/S. Sadly, the game does not support previous consoles like the PS4 or Xbox One. The game is also available on PC, through various platforms such as the Xbox app, Steam, Epic Games, and its own launcher.

As for handhelds, the game is not on the Nintendo Switch, which is a bummer. However, it can be played on most handhelds that have Steam support and good hardware under the hood. Popular handhelds like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally X, and Legion Go do support Marvel Rivals. 

Does Marvel Rivals have crossplay across different platforms?

---

Yes, Marvel Rivals supports crossplay across all platforms. However, there is a constraint. There is no crossplay in Ranked. That means console and  PC players cannot play Ranked together. The ranked pool is divided into two: the PC pool (all PC players) and the Console Pool (PS5 and Xbox players).

In short, PS5 and Xbox can play together in all modes, and PC players can play with console players in all modes except Ranked.

Cross-Progression

---

In layman’s terms, cross-progression means that if you switch platforms, like moving from the PS5 to the PC, your progress in the game will transfer over. In the Marvel Rivals case, there is no cross-progression currently. If you switch platforms, your progress will not transfer over.

Fortunately, Marvel Rivals’ lead developer has confirmed that they are working on cross-progression, and it will be added to the game eventually. However, there has been no announcement of when this will happen.

Conclusion

---

Marvel Rivals is quickly becoming mainstream. Even players who don’t play competitive multiplayer titles are giving this game a try. The fact that the game is available on consoles and PC with crossplay makes it accessible to everyone. Whether you are a PC, PS5, or Xbox user, you can play Marvel Rivals with your friends without any problems.
