Starting December 4th, 2024 at midnight UTC, fans can begin preloading Marvel Rivals on their PCs through Steam or directly from the Marvel Rivals website. Preloading via Steam allows users to download the game but not install it or run it until launch day. On the other hand, preloading from the official Marvel Rivals site enables players to install the client and access the login page before the actual release date.

The first order of business players must keep in mind while preloading the game is the minimum and recommended PC requirements outlined by the developer in the official news post, which we have supplied below:

Marvel Rivals Minimum PC Requirements:
  • OS: Windows 10 64-bit (1909 and later)
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-6600K / AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD RX 580 / Intel Arc A380
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 70 GB of available space
Marvel Rivals Recommended PC Requirements:
  • OS: Windows 10 64-bit (1909 and later)
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-10400 / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (Super) / AMD RX 5700-XT / Intel Arc A750
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 70 GB of available space

Players who use the Epic Games Store are suggested to pre-download the game through the official website since the developer hasn’t provided any preload functions for this platform yet. Unfortunately, pre-downloading the game won’t be an option on consoles as per the developer’s statement; players will have to wait until the launch day before they can start downloading and installing Marvel Rivals.

How To Preload Marvel Rivals For PC?

There are two methods to preload Marvel Rivals on your PC: one way is through the game’s Steam page or directly from the official Marvel Rivals website. The first method involves locating the game in the Steam Store, clicking on it, and then pressing the “Pre-load Game” button that has been provided.

If users wish to preload the game from its official website, they can simply click on this link to locate it. Upon finding it, clicking the “Get For Free” button will initiate download and installation of the game client. After setup, navigate to the login page where you’ll have to wait for the servers to go live before you can engage in multiplayer battles with friends and other online players across platforms – as cross-platform play (crossplay) is an available feature here.

Marvel Rivals Global Release Dates And Times For Consoles & PCs

For the worldwide launch of this upcoming game, NetEase Games has announced that it will be released at midnight UTC on December 6, 2024. Keep in mind that the exact release time may differ depending on your location or region.
