Marvel Rivals finally has cheaters

Many players resort to cheating to gain an unfair advantage in Marvel Rivals, employing tactics like instant-kill auto-targeting and wall-hacking. This cheating problem is reportedly increasing.

However, player reports suggest NetEase Games' anti-cheat measures are effective, with in-game systems successfully identifying and flagging cheater activity.

Dubbed by some as an "Overwatch killer," Marvel Rivals has enjoyed a highly successful Steam launch, boasting over 444,000 concurrent players on its first day – a number comparable to the population of Miami.

While optimization issues exist, with frame rate drops reported on cards like the Nvidia GeForce 3050, many players find the game enjoyable and praise its fair monetization. A key feature is the non-expiring battle pass, eliminating the pressure of constant gameplay to maximize value. This alone could significantly influence player perception of the game.
