Marvel Rivals' Creative Director Guangguang revealed on September 30 the features that will be released to the game with the release of Season 4.5 which will be introduced to NetEase's title on October 10.
Although the release of Daredevil stole the show, NetEase unveiled some other features coming to the game like a special event, Halloween skins to celebrate the spooky season, and more. It's worth to say that the feature that excited the whole Marvel Rivals community is none other than the arrival of cross-progression.
As announced in yesterday's Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 reveal, NetEase will release cross-progression to Marvel Rivals in Season 5. It's difficult to say when that will be, but we expect Marvel Rivals' Season 5 to be released in early or mid-November as Marvel Rivals seasons last for two months.
While Marvel Rivals' cross-progression will be a feature that will be officially launched in Season 5, Guangguang revealed that a bunch of selected players will have access to this feature starting from Season 4.5. This is to make sure that cross-progression is added to Marvel Rivals smoothly.
To activate cross-progression in Marvel Rivals, players will have to follow the next steps:
- Go to Settings
- Then, go to Other
- Once you have gone to Other, select Account Linking
- In Account Linking, you will have the option to link all of your Marvel Rivals accounts, ensuring cross-progression is always active!
Setting a main character on one platform will make it the main character for other platforms linked too. However, players will be able to switch their main character; although there will be a cooldown between changes, making sure players can't exploit this feature.
At the same time, despite activating cross-progression, a player's rank and leaderboard position will remain separate from each platform. This also means that individual stats are tracked independently in each platform, even if cross-progression is active.
