Fixes and Optimizations
PC
NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Frame Generation (Auto Mode) Support: When DLSS Frame Generation is set to Auto, the system dynamically adjusts frame-generation targets based on your monitor’s refresh rate. This locks the frame rate as seamlessly to your screen’s refresh rate as possible, delivering a much more stable, hyper-fluid visual experience.
K’un-Lun: Shenloong Arena – 18 VS. 18 Bounty Annihilation
Optimization for the Xbox Series S is complete! Once this week’s maintenance wraps up, this explosive game mode and map will be fully playable on the console.
Heroes
- Cyclops’ Optic Overdrive: Fixed an issue where the horizontal displacement distance of Cyclops‘ Optic Ascent could be different due to client frame rate variations. The X-Men’s leader is now firmly in control of his optic blasts; precision is key!
- Magneto’s Magnetic Mishap: Addressed a rare, magnetic disruption where Metal Bulwark applied to teammates would sometimes vanish instantly upon casting. The Master of Magnetism’s defenses are back to being utterly impenetrable.
Maps
Lower Manhattan: Removed some tricky collision geometry around the map. We’ve smoothed out a few spots where characters could get stuck or accidentally clip out of bounds.
And that’s everything new coming to Marvel Rivals on June 25. Along with the new Summer 2026 skins, players can also participate in the Uplifting Welcome event to earn free units. That said, are you excited to get the Daredevil and Black Widow swimsuit skins? Let us know in the comments below.
