If you’re playing on the PlayStation 4 and wondering if you can jump into Marvel Rivals, here’s the quick answer: No, Marvel Rivals is not available on PS4 — and it probably won’t be coming anytime soon.
Here’s a bit of a deeper dive into the question.
Why Not?
Marvel Rivals is built for current-gen hardware. It runs on Unreal Engine 5, which is pretty demanding. Even on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, some players have reported issues like stuttering or crashing during intense moments. So, putting the game on PS4 would be tough — the older hardware just isn’t built for what this game is doing.
Is There a Chance It Comes to PS4 Later?
Right now, NetEase hasn’t said anything about bringing Marvel Rivals to PS4. While some Unreal Engine 5 games like Fortnite still run on PS4, Marvel Rivals is more complex, with high-end visuals and a focus on performance. It would take a lot of work to make it run well on older systems.
Cheapest Way to Play on Console
If you want to play Marvel Rivals on a console, your best bet is Xbox Series S. It’s the most affordable option and runs the game pretty well — usually around 60 FPS, even during big fights.
Final Blurb
So no, Marvel Rivals isn’t on PS4, and it likely won’t be. If you’re on last-gen hardware, you’ll need to upgrade to play — or stick to watching gameplay videos for now.
