Marvel Rivals Update 1.03 Released as First Patch on PS4
In case you didn’t know, Marvel Rivals has been released on PS4 with the launch of Season 4 last week. While the last-gen version of the hero shooter is technically inferior in every way compared to the PC and current-gen brethren, that doesn’t mean NetEase is going to leave it to rot with post-launch support.
On the contrary, it seems every update slated for current-gen and PC are also going to be released for the PS4 version. Case in point: the studio has released Marvel Rivals update 1.03 today, and this is the PS4 version’s first update.
This brings the Summer Special Vol. 2, bug fixes, and even new features.
