Marvel Rivals’ October 1 Update Brings Luna Snow’s Lunar Luna Skin and Kicks Off the Pop & Win Event
NetEase’s Marvel Rivals pushed out its Version 20261001 patch today, October 1, 2026, at 09:00 UTC — and unlike some of the bigger seasonal updates this year, it needed zero server downtime to deploy. The patch is light on balance changes, but there’s a full month of new store content, a seasonal event, and an esports predictions window to know about.
New Skins Hit the Store October 2
The headline addition is Luna Snow’s “Lunar Luna” skin, live in the item shop from October 2 through October 30. It ships with two Chroma variants — Pink Planets and Dark Nebula — plus a reworked Ultimate Ability VFX to match. Phoenix also picks up a new “Cosmic Spark” skin in the same window, giving two of the roster’s more popular picks fresh looks heading into the back half of the season.
The Pop & Win Event Runs Through October 16
The featured Pop & Win event is built entirely around the new Luna Snow and Phoenix cosmetics, handing out “fresh rewards” tied to both skins through October 16. If you’re planning to grab the Chromas or top up on Lattice to gamble on the event track, a Steam Wallet Code (US) is the simplest way to fund your account without touching a card, and Dragon4Deals keeps a full page of Steam gift cards in different regional denominations if you need a specific one.
Ignite Series Stage 2 Predictions Open October 5
On the competitive side, playoff predictions for the Marvel Rivals Ignite Series Stage 2 open October 5, with region-specific deadlines: Pacific Series October 8, Americas and EMEA Series October 15, and China Series October 16. Players who lock in predictions and watch matches earn cosmetics and Units, so it’s worth getting your picks in before your region’s window closes.
Small Bug Fixes Round Out the Patch
Three fixes shipped alongside the new content: a corrected ability description for Rogue when she steals Adam Warlock’s kit, a fix for Jeff’s Superstar Search event forcing players into Quick Match instead of their chosen mode, and a cleanup of Chroma customization UI text that was sticking around after deselecting a cosmetic.
Where to Get Marvel Rivals Currency
Marvel Rivals is free-to-play on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox, but Lattice and the Luna Snow and Phoenix skins still cost real money. Dragon4Deals stocks Steam Wallet codes for PC players, plus a full PlayStation Network and Xbox gift card lineup if you’re playing on console instead. Full patch notes are available on the official Marvel Rivals site.
