Get Ready for Marvel Rivals Season 1: How to Access the Update Early (and What's New!)
The anticipation surrounding NetEase's Marvel Rivals and its upcoming Season 1 update is undeniable. Gamers are eager to jump in, and while many streamers have already experienced the new content, there's a path to early access for others.
The key to early access lies in the game's Creator Community. This program offers select players early access to updates and exclusive information. While it might seem exclusive, anyone can apply. Here's how:
