The beta period has concluded and the game is now in full free-to-play release - if you're looking for Marvel Rivals codes then we have a separate guide for the latest bundle codes and how to redeem them.

The Marvel Rivals keys for the Beta were used to manage to access during the testing phase, and they were in high demand due to the short period the closed beta was running for. However, that all ended on August 5 and keys are no longer required, as Marvel Rivals is now in its full free-to-play release and can be downloaded without restrictions on all available platforms. The information below will remain here for reference, but you can now go and grab the complete game to start your superhero journey.

Prospective players can currently get keys and codes to redeem for the Marvel Rivals Beta by any of the following methods:

  • Any player who is already playing the Marvel Rivals Beta and reaches level 6 in-game can claim a code to give to a lucky friend within the game itself. There's a limited amount of codes available per day and it's first-come-first-served, with the pool of codes and keys refilled every day at 12:00AM UTC / 5:00PM PDT / 8:00PM EDT / 1:00AM GMT. If you're too slow - or just never reach level 6 - you won't get one to give to a friend.
  • If you watch at least an hour's worth of Marvel Rivals streams on Twitch with Twitch Drops enabled. There have been multiple rounds of Marvel Rivals Twitch Drops since the start of the beta, with the current event running until August 3 at midnight UTC. Watch some streams and you should be granted a single code/key for a platform of your choice.
  • Follow Marvel Rivals on social media and its official Discord channel as some community events have been offering Beta Key codes as prizes for their members and followers.

Keys for Marvel Rivals beta phase should be redeemable for the platform of your choice through the standard process that any key/code is redeemed on those platforms. If you're on PS5 or Xbox, this is done through the "Redeem Codes" options in the store, while Steam players must select "Game" at the top of the App and then "Activate a Product on Steam".

Entering the key given to you should then let you download the Beta for free, though keep in mind that Marvel Rivals will only be playable until 5 August. After that, you'll have to wait for the game's full release to play again.

You should also keep in mind that keys are console/platform specific. All the ways above you can earn one should allow you to choose a platform, but after you do so, that code is specific to that console - you can't make a PS5 key work on Xbox.
