NetEase's Marvel Rivals is generating major buzz, and its upcoming Season 1 update is no exception. Many players are eager to access Season 1 early. This guide explains how to potentially gain early access.

How to Potentially Gain Early Access to Marvel Rivals Season 1

The excitement surrounding Marvel Rivals' Season 1 stems from the steady stream of online reveals. The developers are showcasing new content via social media, but many streamers received early access, leaving some players feeling excluded. Here's how you might join the select few with early access:

Apply to the Marvel Rivals Creator Community. This group receives early access to updates and information. While not explicitly requiring follower counts, NetEase Games reviews applications, so new accounts created solely for early access might be less successful. Established creators have a higher likelihood of acceptance.

To apply:

1. Visit the Creator Hub on the official Marvel Rivals website.
2. Locate and complete the application form at the bottom of the page.
3. Await a response from NetEase Games.
