Marvel Rivals, dubbed the "Overwatch killer," has enjoyed a spectacularly successful Steam launch, boasting over 444,000 concurrent players on its first day—a number rivaling the population of Miami. However, this success isn't without its challenges.

A growing concern among players is the increasing prevalence of cheating. Reports detail instances of unfair advantages gained through cheats, such as instant-kill auto-targeting and wall-hacking. Despite this, the community acknowledges NetEase Games' efforts in detecting and addressing these issues, noting the effectiveness of their anti-cheat tools.

Performance optimization remains a primary complaint, with users experiencing frame rate drops, particularly those using graphics cards like the Nvidia GeForce 3050. Despite this performance issue, many players praise the game's enjoyable gameplay and fair monetization system. A key positive is the non-expiring nature of battle passes, eliminating the pressure of constant grinding often associated with similar games. This feature alone could significantly influence player perception and retention.
