A Surprise for Last-Gen Owners
While most live-service developers are phasing out PlayStation 4 support, NetEase Games is taking the opposite approach. Marvel Rivals, its popular multiplayer hero shooter, will officially expand to PS4 as part of its Season 4 update. The move gives millions of last-gen players access to the game at a time when titles such as Genshin Impact and Final Fantasy XIV are winding down support.
Season 4 Launch Details
Season 4 begins on September 12 and brings fresh content alongside the new platform launch. Players can expect:
- Two new playable heroes: Daredevil and Angela
- A range of new cosmetic items to unlock
- PlayStation 4 support for the first time
The expansion marks a significant milestone for the game’s player base, making Marvel Rivals accessible to a broader audience across console generations.
Questions Around Performance
Despite the excitement, questions remain about how the PS4 version will handle the game’s demanding visuals and competitive requirements. NetEase has yet to clarify whether the last-gen version will:
- Maintain stable framerates
- Retain visual fidelity
- Provide balanced gameplay alongside PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC
For now, fans will have to wait until launch to see whether the PS4 edition delivers the same experience as its current-gen counterparts.
Marvel Rivals is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
