Marvel Rivals Unveils Season 1 Early Access Program

NetEase's Marvel Rivals is generating immense excitement ahead of its Season 1 update. Many players are eager to gain early access. This guide explains how to potentially join the select group enjoying the update early.

How to Potentially Get Early Access to Marvel Rivals Season 1

The buzz surrounding Marvel Rivals' Season 1 is fueled by the steady stream of online reveals. Developers are showcasing new content through frequent social media posts. However, some streamers received early access, leaving many players wanting more. Here’s how you can increase your chances:

The early access program is part of the game's Creator Community. Gamers apply and, if accepted, receive early access to updates and information. While this may seem exclusive, anyone can apply. Follow these steps:

1. Visit the Creator Hub on the official Marvel Rivals website.
2. Locate the application form at the bottom of the page.
3. Complete the form with the necessary information.
4. Await NetEase Games' response.

Important Note: While the application doesn't explicitly require metrics like subscriber counts, applicants with newly created accounts solely for early access are unlikely to be successful. New creators might consider waiting before applying.
