Marvel Rivals Shatters Player Count Record with Season 1 Launch
The free-to-play team-based shooter, Marvel Rivals, has achieved a new peak concurrent player count following the release of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls. The game saw a staggering 644,269 concurrent players on January 11th, significantly surpassing its previous record of 480,990 set during its launch week.
Season 1: A Night of New Content
Launched on January 10th, Season 1 introduced a wealth of new content, driving the surge in players. This includes:
- New playable characters
- A brand-new map
- Game performance improvements and optimizations
- A revamped ranked tier system
- A fresh Battle Pass
The captivating storyline, centered around Dracula and Doctor Doom plunging the city into eternal night, alongside the introduction of the Fantastic Four as allies, captivated players worldwide.

Mod Support Removed
The update, while bringing exciting new content, also removed support for fan-made modifications (mods). The implementation of asset hash checking prevents the use of unofficial assets, including mods, cheats, and hacks. This measure aims to maintain fair play and protect the game's integrity.
This change has sparked a mixed reaction within the community. While some mourn the loss of custom content like Luna Snow's Hatsune Miku skin, others see it as a necessary step for a free-to-play game reliant on cosmetic sales and combating cheating.
