Marvel Rivals Devs Address FPS Boost Pay-to-Win Issue

Author: Amelia Jan 31,2025

Marvel Rivals launched strongly, boasting hundreds of thousands of concurrent Steam players, while simultaneously impacting Overwatch 2's player base. However, a significant and frustrating bug has emerged.

Previously reported, low-end PCs experiencing low frame rates cause certain heroes to move slower and inflict reduced damage. The developers have acknowledged this issue and are actively working on a solution.

Unfortunately, a complete fix proves challenging. Consequently, Season 1 of Marvel Rivals will feature an interim patch focusing on improved movement. Resolving the damage discrepancy will require more time, with no definitive timeframe for a complete resolution currently available.

Therefore, our recommendation remains: prioritize maximum frame rate over graphical fidelity in Marvel Rivals. This will mitigate the performance disadvantage caused by the bug.
