Marvel Rivals, dubbed the "Overwatch killer," has enjoyed a hugely successful Steam launch, boasting over 444,000 concurrent players on its first day – a number rivaling the population of Miami. While the game's reception has been largely positive, with players praising its enjoyable gameplay and accessible monetization (including non-expiring battle passes), optimization issues remain a concern. Users with graphics cards like the Nvidia GeForce 3050 have reported noticeable frame rate drops.
Despite the positive overall experience and fair monetization, a growing problem is the increasing number of cheaters. Reports of players using cheats to gain unfair advantages, such as auto-aim, wall-hacking, and one-hit kills, are becoming more frequent. However, the community notes that NetEase Games' anti-cheat measures appear to be effective in detecting and addressing this issue.
