Intro

Marvel Rivals is the next arena shooter that will attempt to take the crown from Overwatch, which really hasn’t been doing well in the years leading up to Overwatch 2 and even worse ever since. There is a lot of hype about NetEase’s contender but it is still quite a bit away from release. However, you can play earlier if you get into the playtest sessions. Here is how to do it.

How to sign up for Marvel Rivals playtest

Signing up for the upcoming playtests is rather easy – just go to the official Marvel Rivals website and click the “Sign up for playtest” which is roughly around the center of the screen.

You will need to fill out a survey that will ask you about previous shooter experience, provide an email at which you can be contacted and then you will need to check the PC requirements to see whether your hardware can handle the game.
