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 designed to captivate players. This includes:
- 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 fresh content clearly resonated with the player base, driving the massive surge in concurrent players. The storyline revolves around Dracula and Doctor Doom plunging the city into eternal night, while the Fantastic Four join the fight against this vampiric threat.

The Double-Edged Sword: Goodbye to Mods
While Season 1 brought excitement, it also resulted in the removal of community-created mods. The update implemented asset hash checking, a security measure designed to detect and prevent cheating and hacking. Unfortunately, this also affects custom skins and modifications, leading to warnings or bans for players using unofficial content.
This change has sparked a divided community response. Some mourn the loss of custom creations like Luna Snow's Hatsune Miku skin, while others see it as a necessary step to protect the game's integrity and ensure fair play, especially considering its reliance on cosmetic purchases.
