NetEase Games has published a new update for Marvel Rivals on January 22, 2025. Patch 20250122 marks the beginning of the Spring Festival event, which comes with a time-limited game mode and other opportunities to earn exclusive rewards such as costumes.

However, the update has a whole bunch of bug fixes and optimizations in store as well. Rivals’ destructible terrain should have less negative impact on performance after this patch and the instances of getting stuck in pieces of terrain should be decreased as well.

Marvel Rivals update 20250122 patch notes

General

• Optimized the alternate name feature in Streaming Mode, allowing players to define their own alternate names instead of relying on system-generated ones.
• Added a season dropdown menu to the Leaderboard for easy access to different season rankings.
• Enhanced the Career system by introducing a feature to view historical season rank information.

Maps and Gameplay

• Implemented a series of fixes for various performance issues related to destructible environments.
• Resolved multiple instances where players could get stuck in unique terrain.
• Addressed several Reverse-Destruction performance issues after destruction repaired in Empire of Eternal Night maps.

Hero Bug Fixes

• Hawkeye's Precision: Fixed an issue where Hawkeye's passive ability Focus progress would sometimes display incorrectly. It's now as accurate as he is.
• Wolverine's Unyielding Berserk Claw Strike: Frame rate no longer affects the number of attacks in the enhanced Savage Claw after using Feral Leap.
• Invisible Woman's Psionic Stranglehold: Mobility abilities for specific heroes are now fully operational within the range of Invisible Woman's Psionic Vortex - no more containment issues!
• Mister Fantastic Double Trouble: Addressed a bug where having two Mister Fantastic (like Loki in transformation) sometimes allowed one to reuse the second part of Distended Grip
• Namor and Invisible Woman???: Fixed an issue preventing Namor and Invisible Woman from unleashing their ultimate abilities at certain door locations—now they can break through any barrier!
• Storm's Doppelganger: Resolved a problem where under low frame rate conditions, activating Storm's ultimate ability as Loki after transforming into her would be canceled.
• Wolverine's Fury Corrected: Fixed an issue where Wolverine's ultimate ability occasionally wouldn't end properly after landing after being pulled back.
• Heroic Hint Harmony: Corrected abnormal ping prompts for some heroes.
• Magik's Misstep: Addressed a bug where Magik could not use Stepping Discs after activating her ultimate ability in certain situations.
• Peni Parker's Precision: Fixed an issue where Peni's Bionic Spider-Nest would be unintentionally lifted along with the Klyntar device when raised—now, her tech remains grounded and ready for action!
• Loki's Transformation Tweaked: Resolved a problem where Loki, after using his ultimate ability to shapeshift into the Punisher, if Warrior's Gaze was triggered when the transform was about to end its effects lingered too long. The Warrior's Gaze effect will now fade as soon as the ultimate concludes—no more lingering vision trickery!
• Web-Slinging Adjustments: Fixed an issue where, in certain situations in Convoy Mode, if Peni Parker fired a Cyber-Web below the vehicle, her web would move with the vehicle. Now, her webbing sticks like it should.
• Mister Fantastic's Resilience Restored: Resolved a bug where if Mister Fantastic was knocked offline while in his inflated state and then rejoined, Mister Fantastic might be unable to use some abilities after reconnecting. He's now back in action and ready to stretch into battle!
• Webbing Dynamics Corrected: Corrected an issue where Peni Parker's web being pulled back could be blocked by enemy heroes, leading to positional anomalies. Now, her webbing will behave as intended.
• Camera Alignment Fixed: Fixed a camera misalignment issue that could occur while KO'd and revived by Adam Warlock while spectating Hela just as she rises up to launch her Ultimate Ability.
