Everyone is a big fan of the user-friendly monetization in Marvel Rivals, but there’s one requested feature fans are clamoring for: cross-progression between platforms.
As players collect their skins and unlock cosmetics on PC, they want their progress to carry over to PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S. Currently, that’s not possible, but the team at NetEase is working on it.

Something seems rather familiar about these heroes and villains.
Speaking with Dot Esports, Marel Rivals creative director Guangyun “Guangguang” Chen said, “Cross-progression involves a lot of platform-specific rules, we’re still looking at it and how to solve it. Once the team is ready, once we’ve figured it out, we’ll be sharing to everyone and players will be the first to know.”
To be fair, there are some legitimate technical concerns developers have to work through when enabling cross-platform progression. Marvel Rivals isn’t the first game to come across these issues, and it won’t be the last.
There’s Plenty More Marvel Rivals Fun to Look Forward To
Speaking of skins, the Marvel Rivals Winter Event begins December 20th on all platforms, headlined by Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival, a 4v4 Arcade Mode. Players can also complete tasks and unlock limited-time items like the Jeff the Land Shack Cuddly Fuzzlefin costume.
Marvel is also launching a brand-new Marvel Rivals Infinity Comic series, with its first issue available now on the Marvel Unlimited digital comics app. Starting January 3rd, subscribers can redeem a Jeff the Land Spark Unlimited Appetite spray. Paid subscribers will receive the redemption code in their registered email inbox.
