Marvel Rivals gets over 10 million players in three days

10
million
people
donned
spandex
and
went
to
battle
over
Marvel
Rival’s
opening
weekend,
proving
once
and
for
all
that
what
we
really
want
is
to
dress
up
in
a
costume
and
fight
each
other.

Chinese
giant
NetEase
made
the
announcement
on
social
media.

🎉
In
just
72
hours,
we’ve
reached
an
incredible
milestone
of
10
million
players
worldwide!
🎉

We
want
to
extend
our
heartfelt
thanks
to
each
and
every
one
of
you.
🫶

Let’s
ignite
the
battle
together!

“In
just
72
hours,
we’ve
reached
an
incredible
milestone
of
10
million
players
worldwide!”
said
the
official
Marvel
Rival’s
X
page.
It
might
only
be
text,
but
I’m
sure
I
heard
champagne
being
popped
in
the
background
and
the
sound
of
someone
diving
into
a
pool
of
money.

It’s
doing
pretty
damn
well
on
Steam
as
well.
A

few
days
ago
I
wrote
about
its
opening
numbers,
but
Rival’s
has
beaten
its
own
peak
concurrent
player
count
by
40,000+
people,

bringing
its
new
record
to
480,990
concurrent
players.

Astoundingly,

it
has
a
Mostly
Positive
rating
on
Steam
as
well.
I
say
astoundingly
because
these
days
a
multiplayer
game
launching
without
a
raft
of
problems
is
akin
to
a
miracle.
And
it’s
even
odder
to
see
people
actually
happy
with
a
free-to-play
game’s
monetization,
and
yet
here
we
are.
