Marvel Rivals, a new 6v6 hero-shooter game featuring 23 heroes from Marvel comics, has launched a closed beta test. The game has drawn comparisons to Overwatch for its diverse hero roster and ability to create various team compositions. The closed beta will run until Aug. 5, giving players about a week to experience the game, including the newly added heroes Thor, Venom, Adam Warlock, and Jeff the land shark.
To join the Marvel Rivals beta, there are a few ways to secure your spot. One option is to watch Twitch streams of the game for at least an hour. By connecting your Twitch account to the Marvel Rivals website, you can earn a single-use key for PC, PS5, or Xbox Series X/S. Keep an eye out for Twitch drop round 2 event from July 29 to July 31, where keys refresh at 8 p.m. ET.
If you have friends who are already in the beta, they can also help you get access by reaching level 6 in the game and claiming a key to share with you. These keys have daily limits and go quickly, so be prepared to claim yours as soon as it becomes available. You can even form a group with friends to chain these keys together as each of you progresses in the game.
Once you have obtained a key, the download process varies by platform. On PC, you can redeem your code on Steam. For PS5, head to the PlayStation Store and enter your code in the Redeem Code section. Similarly, on Xbox, go to the Xbox Store and redeem your Marvel Rivals code.
Watching Twitch streams not only gives you a chance to access the closed beta but also provides valuable insights into the gameplay and abilities of the heroes. Whether you choose to earn a key through Twitch drops or from a friend, the Marvel Rivals beta offers an exciting opportunity to explore the world of Marvel in a dynamic hero-shooter setting. Join the beta now and experience the thrill of assembling your dream team of Marvel heroes!
