Marvel Rivals is a hot new team based multiplayer game promising superhero action and free-to-play accessibility. As with most online games, currencies and the battle pass are crucial components of Marvel Rivals.
The core gameplay of Marvel Rivals, including heroes, maps, and other elements, is completely free. The only paid content is cosmetics, which are purely visual with no stat boosts or pay-to-win elements. These cosmetics are inspired by Marvel’s rich comic and cinematic history, allowing players to show off iconic looks or explore new interpretations of their favorite characters.
What are the currencies in Marvel Rivals?
Marvel Rivals uses two currencies:
- Lattice: The premium currency, which players purchase directly. Prices start at $0.99 for 100 Lattice and go up to $99.99 for 11,680 Lattice, with occasional bonus amounts included in larger bundles.
- Units: Earnable in-game through the Battle Pass, achievements, and events, Units can also be acquired at a 1:1 exchange rate with Lattice.
This dual-currency system ensures players have both free and premium paths to unlock content, with flexibility for those who prefer to play without spending.
Cosmetics like costumes, MVP animations, emotes, sprays, and nameplates come individually or in bundles. Legendary-quality bundles and MCU-themed cosmetics are also available, offering premium visual upgrades for Marvel fans.
How does the battle pass work?
The Battle Pass includes free and premium tiers:
- Free Battle Pass: Offers one epic-quality costume and additional rewards for all players.
- Luxury Battle Pass: Priced at 490 Lattice for the shorter launch season, it includes 5 costumes and related cosmetics.
Tasks and events earn you tokens which progress your battle pass. Unlike many other online games, no need to worry about FOMO in Marvel Rivals. If you don’t complete the battle pass in season, it doesn’t expire. Therefore you can always snag the rewards later.
Achievements, events, and the Free Battle Pass provide players with free cosmetics and Units, allowing everyone to customize their heroes without spending.
With this system, Marvel Rivals aims to balance free-to-play accessibility with rewarding cosmetics for dedicated players. Whether you’re buying bundles or grinding for rewards, there’s something for every hero.
Marvel Rivals is available right now for free for the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
