The game is estimated to have earned over $130 million in the first month.

Marvel Rivals Reportedly Earns Over $130 Million In Its First Month

Not bad for a free-to-play game.

Thick asses sell.

But I was told there was no room for another hero shooter

Wow. The previous daily lows and high were the 150,000-400,000 range. They musta shut down servers or something for a bit when the DLC came out because it dropped to 50,000-ish. But now at 600,000+!

The shitty SE Avengers game topped out at 31,000 on Steam.

China has its own server apart from Steam. This is mostly global.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Quite a few people like to hate on it, but it's clear people are having fun with the game.

 

[Icymanipulator]

That’s about 987.7 Concords just in case anyone was wondering

 

[Unknown Soldier]

There isn't. Overwatch is being replaced

 

[DavidGzz]

Rename it to Marvel Rising. I wonder how much PoE 2 has made. Rolling in dough too, I bet.

 

[Stuart360]

Not my kind of thing, and i'm not a big Marvel guy to begin with. I keep seeing Streamers pla it though and its just a mass of pixels and special effects, i cant tell whats going on most of the time lol.

Still these are good numbers, even if it is F2P.
I do feel Heldivers 2 was more impressive though due to it being a paid title.

[Hawk The Slayer]

Not the type of gameplay I'll stick with for long but glad it's doing good and well deserved just for actually having great looking character, male characters that actually looks masculine and female characters that actually looks feminine like how they're both suppose to.

Not mediocre, if it was it wouldn’t have this player base…

 

[Axelon]

I'm having a hell of a lot of fun with it, and it looks like others are too. I was heavy into Overwatch (500 hours) until they trashed that game with 2. But this relit that fire. Learning all the moves of each character and trying to learn them enough to actually be used in fights good fun. Win, lose? Who cares.

Staying far away from competitive mode though. That's where the unfun evil lurks.

its marvel IP and its good. does not apply to most GaaS .

And this game basically replaced overwatch

 

[Jinzo Prime]

You know a game is successful when random factory workers are talking about it on break. It's mainstream now.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

It's C- grade Overwatch with terrible movement and terrible shooting. Honeymoon period ends in 3 - 4 months.

It means the market is undersaturated. The people are thirst for more GAAS!

 

[Pakoe]

The games has been a lot of fun so far

I went back to OW2 for the first time last month since Rivals came out and the gulf in quality is immediately apparent.

 

[Holammer]

Good numbers.
Funny how PUBG still lords over Rivals when you average gaffer wonders if the game still exists.

 

[Lambogenie]

Quite a few people like to hate on it, but it's clear people are having fun with the game.

They also raging hard in every match. Complaining about every other player. Crazy toxic.

 

[Mayar]

The funniest thing about this whole situation is that this is basically what could have happened with OV2 if everything that was promised in the game had been done, and a bunch of other mistakes had not been made. In fact, the guys just appeared out of nowhere and have currently taken the entire market from OV2. Here again, you have to understand that the whole problem with online games is that popularity does not insure against bad decisions and updates. But for now, everything is fine with them and they have not done anything stupid yet, but if they start making bad decisions or unsuccessful updates, all these numbers will burn out very quickly.

 

[Madflavor]

I love how this utterly annihilates the narrative that Concord failed due to the Hero Shooter being overcrowded.

[DenchDeckard]

I've heard it's quite fun. I might give it a go.

 

[Luipadre]

I keep playing it because of the art style, the coomer character design and i like the hit sound. Otherwise its just an adhd game where everyone is jumping around like a lunatic

 

[MiguelItUp]

They also raging hard in every match. Complaining about every other player. Crazy toxic.

Worst part about it honestly. A lot of the players, be it from Overwatch or whatever, are just a bunch of pricks. It's funny too because I noticed the majority that complain and whine the most are typically the sources of the "problem" as well, lol.

I turned voice chat off immediately because I was tired of hearing "adults" throw temper tantrums. Had to as that's just not fun to me at 40 years old, lol. You can get by without comms and just pinging just fine.

 

[ArtHands]

Most successful on Steam.

How is OW2 doing?

 

[Tajaz2426]

Wow, folks wanted to pay for the sexy hooker instead of the lady in knight armor that ate nothing but Burger King for 30 years straight. Who could have seen that coming, I am nonplussed, I tell you.

I’m assuming this has a storefront, so I’ll never play it, but by the looks of it folks are having a great time. Game on.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Narrator: False. Men_in_Boxes is attracted to GAAS failure threads more than just about any human in existence.

How is OW2 doing?

Great. Overwatch 2 and Marvel Rivals grew the market considerably.

Almost everyone i know and game with plays this right now or gave it a try

The devs are all former overwatch players. All the stuff missing from OW2 is seemingly there

 

[Zacfoldor]

Good news for this game with the hot butts.

 

[clarky]

Narrator: False. Men_in_Boxes is attracted to GAAS failure threads more than just about any human in existence.

Certainly can't argue with that.

 

[ArtHands]

Won't be shock if the game is more successful on PC than every other consoles combined

 

[DrFigs]

it turns out that people do like gaas and hero shooters. wow. who could have seen this coming

 

[Complistic]

This games literally killing women.

[bitbydeath]

Yup. Overwatch has always been terrible.

 

[Axelon]

They also raging hard in every match. Complaining about every other player. Crazy toxic.

Before I even started a match I turned off voice and text chat. 0 toxicity for me. I just team up with friends/family who don't whine like little babies.

I did the same thing in OW after a bit after hearing the most toxic shit in existence.
