Marvel Rivals is one of the most anticipated games of 2024, especially for Marvel fans. NetEase Games has gathered more than 20 renowned characters from the Marvel Universe and lets players enjoy all of them as playable characters. Therefore, the hype is something normal, and the closed beta of the game performed quite well. 

However, the closed beta is now officially over. The beta was scheduled to be closed at 7:00 UTC on August 5, but the happy part was that this was only a temporary respite. The success of the closed beta has changed the mind of the team, and once again, players received the chance to dive into the game before it officially comes out.

Marvel Rivals Didn’t Wrap Up the Beta on Scheduled Time but Brought Something Unexpected

As soon as the closed beta of Marvel Rivals came to an end, NetEase Games came up with a unique strategy to give players some more hours to enjoy the game.

Since the official trailer for Marvel Rivals was released, players have been eagerly waiting for the game to come. Therefore, when the closed beta was released, it reached a milestone within a few hours of its launch. Though the beta showed a few problems, the success was kind of unexpected for the developer as well. So, it decided to extend the closing time. 

After a successful run of 14 days, when the closed beta came to an end, NetEase Games released an announcement about bringing an Experimental Update for players. It mentioned that this update will start as soon as the closed beta ends and will run for the next six hours. 

The announcement clearly stated the changes the update would include. As mentioned, it should have added DLSS Frame Generation and fixed a few issues like Hulk’s voice bug, the slow loading issue of HDDs, problematic loading screen issues, etc.
