Marvel Rivals: Pay-to-Win Bug Acknowledged, Fix On the Way

by Isaac Feb 13,2025

Marvel Rivals launched strongly, boasting hundreds of thousands of concurrent Steam players, while simultaneously impacting Overwatch 2's player base. However, a significant and frustrating bug has emerged.

We previously reported on a performance issue affecting low-end PCs: reduced movement speed and damage output at low frame rates. The developers have acknowledged this bug and are actively working on a solution.

Resolving this complex issue requires considerable effort. Consequently, Season 1 of Marvel Rivals will feature an interim fix primarily focusing on movement mechanics. A complete resolution for the damage reduction problem will take longer, with no definitive timeline currently available.

Therefore, our recommendation remains unchanged: prioritize maximum frame rate over graphical fidelity in Marvel Rivals to avoid in-game disadvantages.
