Marvel Rivals is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

News of Marvel Rivals coming to PC first dropped alongside the reveal trailer on March 27, which indicated Steam and the Epic Games Store would be the game’s only platforms at launch. The game’s first closed alpha test, in May 2024, was exclusively playable on Steam, leaving console players on the outside looking in.

But console players finally got the news they were waiting for at Sony’s State of Play showcase on May 30, where the dev announced that Marvel Rivals is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Console players will finally get their hands on the game during the closed beta, which runs from July 23 to Aug. 3. This closed beta is available to players on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.
