Cheaters Finally Routed in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals, dubbed the "Overwatch killer," has enjoyed a phenomenal launch, boasting over 444,000 concurrent players on its first day—a number rivaling the population of Miami. However, this success isn't without its challenges.

The game's popularity has unfortunately attracted a growing number of cheaters, employing tactics like instant-kill auto-targeting and wall-hacking to gain unfair advantages. While the community reports NetEase Games' anti-cheat measures are showing effectiveness in detecting and addressing this issue, the problem persists.

Another significant concern revolves around optimization. Players using graphics cards like the Nvidia GeForce 3050 have reported noticeable frame rate drops. Despite this performance issue, many players praise Marvel Rivals for its enjoyable gameplay and fair monetization. A key aspect of this positive reception is the non-expiring nature of battle passes, eliminating the pressure of needing to constantly grind. This feature alone could significantly influence player perception and retention.
