Marvel Rivals finally has cheaters

Many gamers resort to cheating to gain an unfair advantage in Marvel Rivals, employing tactics like auto-targeting for instant eliminations or shooting through walls for one-hit kills. This cheating problem is escalating within the game's community.

However, player reports suggest NetEase Games' anti-cheat measures are proving effective, successfully identifying and flagging suspicious activity.

Dubbed by some as the "Overwatch killer," Marvel Rivals has enjoyed a hugely successful Steam launch, boasting over 444,000 concurrent players on its first day—a number comparable to the population of Miami.

Optimization remains a significant concern, with noticeable frame rate drops reported on cards like the Nvidia GeForce 3050. Despite this, many players find the game enjoyable and praise its fair and accessible monetization system.

A key feature differentiating Marvel Rivals is its non-expiring battle passes. This eliminates the pressure to grind excessively, a factor that could significantly influence player perception and enjoyment.
