Marvel Rivals goes live with patch 20260625 tomorrow, June 25th at 09:00 UTC, and there's no server downtime, just patch and play. The headline event is the Summer Uplifting Welcome, running from June 28th through July 1st on Hellfire Bay Beach. Every hour on the hour, you get a 15-minute window to grab 200 Units, an exclusive Summer Festival Title, and a universal emote that works across your entire roster.

On the mechanical side, Cyclops' Optic Overdrive is finally fixed, it was drifting horizontally depending on your frame rate, which meant precision players couldn't rely on consistent positioning. Magneto's getting a similar quality-of-life bump with Metal Bulwark no longer vanishing instantly on teammates. Lower Manhattan also loses some collision geometry that was trapping characters, a small but necessary cleanup.

PC players get NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Frame Generation support with Auto Mode, which dynamically locks your frame rate to your monitor's refresh rate for a smoother experience. On console, the K'un-Lun arena finally comes to Xbox Series S after optimization work wraps up. New cosmetics for Daredevil and Black Widow drop June 26th, alongside Twitch Drops running through July 19th.

Fixes and Optimizations

PC

NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Frame Generation (Auto Mode) Support: When DLSS Frame Generation is set to Auto, the system will dynamically adjust frame generation targets based on your monitor's refresh rate. This locks the frame rate as seamlessly to your screen's refresh rate as possible, delivering a much more stable, hyper-fluid visual experience.

K'un-Lun: Shenloong Arena - 18 VS. 18 Bounty Annihilation

Optimization for the Xbox Series S is complete! Once this week's maintenance wraps up, this explosive game mode and map will be fully playable on the console.

Heroes

1. Cyclops' Optic Overdrive: Fixed an issue where the horizontal displacement distance Cyclops' Optic Ascent could be different due to client frame rate variations. The X-Men's leader is now firmly in control of his optic blasts; precision is key! 
2. Magneto's Magnetic Mishap: Addressed a rare, magnetic disruption where Metal Bulwark applied to teammates would sometimes vanish instantly upon casting. The Master of Magnetism's defenses are back to being utterly impenetrable.    

Maps

Lower Manhattan: Removed some tricky collision geometry around the map. We've smoothed out a few spots where characters could get stuck or accidentally clip out of bounds.  


The Marvel Rivals universe is ever-evolving, and we have plenty more surprises and updates in store. Stay tuned to our official announcements for more!
