Marvel Rivals Shatters Concurrent Player Record with Season 1 Launch
The free-to-play team-based shooter, Marvel Rivals, has once again broken its own concurrent player record, reaching a staggering 644,269 players on January 11th following the release of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls. This surpasses its previous peak of 480,990 players achieved during its launch week.
Season 1: Eternal Night Falls – A Night of New Content
Launched on January 10th, Season 1 introduced a wealth of new content, igniting player enthusiasm and driving the impressive player surge. Key additions include:
- New playable characters
- A brand-new map
- Significant game improvements and optimizations
- A revamped ranked tier system
- An exciting new Battle Pass
The influx of new content, centered around the vampire lord Dracula and Doctor Doom battling the Fantastic Four, proved irresistible to players eager to experience the updated gameplay.

Mod Support Removed – A Controversial Change
The Season 1 update also brought a significant change: the removal of support for fan-made mods. The implementation of asset hash checking prevents the use of unofficial modifications, including custom skins and other alterations. This measure aims to combat cheating and maintain fair gameplay.
The community's response is mixed. While some mourn the loss of custom content, others see it as a necessary step for a free-to-play game reliant on cosmetic sales and aiming to preserve a level playing field.
