Report: Marvel Rivals Console Playtests Was Conducted in California
While NetEase has yet to confirm a console version for the in-development hero shooter Marvel Rivals, the company accidentally confirmed the game coming to “other platforms” in an FAQ before removing that part out, and a recent datamine on the alpha client even confirmed that crossplay implementation for PC and consoles is part of the game’s code, which further gives the impression that the game is indeed headed to consoles.
It seems the console version of Marvel Rivals might be farther along than we think, as a recent playtest for the game seems to have been conducted just recently. While it didn’t name Marvel Rivals directly, it mentions NetEase Games, and it’s asking for testers who have game experience with the following titles: Apex Legends, Call of Duty, Fortnite, Halo Infinite, Overwatch 2, PUBG, Rainbow Six Siege, and Valorant.
What’s more, known insider and dataminer Miller also confirmed this, as they are asking for anyone who played the console version to contact them directly.
Did you participate in this playtest for the unannounced Marvel Rivals console ports? I’d love to hear how it went. My message requests are open, or you can reach me securely via e-mail at millereross@protonmail.com 😊 https://t.co/2CmYjCrPrE pic.twitter.com/s3rjupI2tP

While nothing has been announced, it seems a console version of Marvel Rivals is indeed a real thing. Let’s hope NetEase announces it soon. I know I’m not the only one looking forward to playing this on consoles.
For those curious what the heroes can do on the battlefield, we published an article listing down all the abilities of the heroes available in the alpha.
Marvel Rivals is an upcoming free-to-play game set for PC, and based on the evidence mounting, is also headed to consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X|S) as well.
