How many people play Marvel Rivals? 2025 player count

Marvel Rivals’ player count is still holding strong, despite the long-running season one. The game launched in December 2024 and has boasted large player numbers ever since.

NetEase constantly adds new content to Marvel Rivals to keep it balanced and fun. Season one dropped in early January, introducing a handful of changes, including two Fantastic Four members—Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman. The other two members, Human Torch and The Thing, both arrived in February in a new update, and there have been a number of events throughout the season, too.

These additions are bound to attract even more players to play the game as it goes on, in theory. But what does the game’s number look like right now?

Marvel Rivals player count (March 2025)

Hundreds of thousands of people play Marvel Rivals, but we can’t determine the exact number now thanks to platforms keeping player counts private.

Marvel Rivals is available on multiple platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The exact player count isn’t available to the public on all platforms, so we can’t pinpoint the overall number of players enjoying Marvel Rivals in 2025.

There are a few exceptions, however. According to Steam Charts, the game reached a new concurrent player peak of 645,333 on Jan. 10 for the launch of season one, but has declined steadily while still retaining a majority of its players ever since. Many others are also playing on the Epic Games Store, although there’s no way to know how many, only furthering how impossible it is to pinpoint the number if you don’t work at NetEase.

On Steam Charts, Marvel Rivals’ average player count on Steam has dropped from over 306,000 in January 2025, to 228,000 in February, to now around 199,000 in March. But that’s all sure to change whenever the new season drops in the beginning of April and many players return.

The exact number of Marvel Rivals players on consoles is also unknown, but the game routinely sits within the list of best-selling games on both the PlayStation and Microsoft Store. As of March 12, it sits in the top 15 of the PlayStation standings, and it’s similarly near the top of the podium on Xbox.

Can Marvel Rivals continue its momentum throughout 2025?

Marvel Rivals seems to be holding on strong despite releasing last year. Season one began on Jan. 10, making quality-of-life changes and introducing new characters, maps, and more. With the hype train going strong, it’s safe to assume that more new players will pick up the game over time as more heroes are added, like when season two comes on April 11. It’s also free-to-play, and its Battle Passes are affordable and offer plenty of additional content to chase.

The developer is also working on more convenient solutions for players. One of them is Hero Hot List, introduced a few days before season one dropped. It showcases the data of heroes’ pick and win rates on different consoles and in various rankings. Maybe in time, the developer will officially share the player count across all platforms, which would be a great way of cementing the game among the multiplayer giants.
