Since its release, Marvel Rivals has maintained flawless server performance, with very infrequent extended outages. NetEase has established a reputation for rapid turnarounds, guaranteeing that the game remains accessible, in contrast to other live-service titles that may leave fans stranded for hours. This reliability has only served to heighten anticipation for the game’s upcoming major update, which devs have revealed to alter the meta and gameplay in the Season 2.5 release.

The addition of Ultron will shake up team compositions, while NetEase has also decided to shift the meta with numerous buffs and nerfs. However, before you can play the new content in Marvel Rivals, you’ll need to download the latest update and wait for the server downtime to end.
