Excitement is building for the upcoming launch of Marvel Rivals, which is set to release on PC and the latest generation consoles, including PS5 and Xbox Series S|X. Developed using the impressive Unreal Engine 5, the game will also feature a dedicated PS5 Pro patch that enhances the resolution further via PSSR. PlayStation enthusiasts can also look forward to exclusive skins and enhanced controller features tailored for the DualSense controller.
PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro Features
Marvel Rivals guarantees smooth performance at 60 FPS on both PS5 and PS5 Pro. Here’s a breakdown of the available modes and technological enhancements:
| Base PS5 Mode | PS5 Pro Mode |
|---|---|
| Default: 60 FPS at 1440p | Pro: 60 FPS at 4K (PSSR) |
| High Frame Rate: 120 FPS – Resolution Unknown | High Frame Rate: 120 FPS – Resolution Unknown |
| Lumen Global Illumination | Lumen Global Illumination and Lumen Reflections |
The introduction of a 120 FPS mode significantly enhances gameplay responsiveness, which is crucial for competitive gaming by minimizing input lag. However, it’s essential that the internal resolution remains high enough to take full advantage of this feature. As variable refresh rate (VRR) displays become standard, the prevalence of 120 FPS modes on current-gen consoles continues to grow, encouraging more games to adopt this competitive edge.
DualSense Controller Enhancements
Players will experience a more immersive gaming experience with Marvel Rivals thanks to the inclusion of adaptive triggers and haptic feedback for the DualSense controllers. According to developers at NetEase, players will feel nuanced changes in trigger tension and vibration feedback as they unleash various hero abilities. For example, the sensation of Punisher’s machine gun, the tension on Hawkeye’s bowstring, and the impactful punches of Hulk will all be vividly portrayed.
Exclusive PlayStation Plus Benefits
Subscribers to PlayStation Plus will be rewarded with a Venom-themed cosmetic pack for Peni Parker, which includes:
- VEN#M suit
- Exclusive name card, spray, and MVP animation
- Season pass tokens
Furthermore, players on PS5 will receive the Scarlet Spider skin for Spider-Man without needing a PlayStation Plus subscription.
With a positive reception during its beta phases, there is hope that NetEase Games will actively respond to player feedback and consistently introduce new content to extend the game’s lifecycle. Preloading for PC players is already open ahead of the release, ramping up anticipation for this exciting title.
