NetEase Games has rolled out the Version 20260903 update for Marvel Rivals, arriving September 3, 2026 without any server downtime and going live at 09:00 UTC. The patch focuses on cosmetics and quality-of-life polish rather than balance changes, headlined by a wave of new character bundles that dropped the following day. It also sets the stage for Marvel Rivals Season 10, which NetEase has confirmed will launch just over a week later. Players stocking up on in-game currency or planning bundle purchases across PC or PlayStation can grab a Steam Wallet Code (US) or PSN Gift Card (US) ahead of the new content.

What's New in the September 3 Patch

The headline additions are three new character bundles that went live September 4, one day after the patch itself. Ultron receives the “B-Boy Prime” bundle, while Rogue and Gambit both get outfits tied to the second season of the animated series X-Men ’97. A companion X-Men ’97 Season 2 Emoji Bundle rounds out the seasonal cosmetics for players who want to react in-match with a matching theme.

Ultron also picks up two smaller customization additions outside the bundle: a “Chroma Caramel Crew/Mustard Beat” skin variant and a new set of visual effects for his Ultimate Ability, giving the character a fresh look in his signature moment. Cyclops fans get a welcome tweak too — his costume now supports a cape-removal cosmetic option, letting players strip the cape for a cleaner silhouette. Social features weren’t ignored either: the popular “Take a Seat” emote is now compatible with Jubilee, adding her to the growing list of heroes who can use it.

On the fix side, NetEase patched an issue on the Hellfire Bay Beach map where Psylocke’s default costume would stop rendering dynamically while she sat on the swing, a small but visible bug that had been reported since the map’s introduction. As always, players building out their PC or console libraries can find Marvel Rivals free to play on Steam, with in-game currency for bundles like these available through a Steam Wallet Code (US).

Season 10 Is Almost Here

Marvel Rivals Season 10 is confirmed to launch Friday, September 11, 2026, with an expected go-live time around 09:00 UTC, just a week after this patch. NetEase has been unusually quiet on details, confirming only that the season introduces the game’s 54th playable hero without revealing their identity. Dataminers combing through the client believe Gorr the God Butcher is likely to join as a Vanguard, with Nightcrawler tipped as a Duelist pick, though neither has been officially announced.

What is confirmed is a significant competitive shake-up: Season 10 brings a full rank reset that drops every player’s Competitive rank by six divisions, the equivalent of two full tiers. A player who finished Season 9.5 at Diamond III, for example, will start the new season at Gold III, resetting the ladder and giving lapsed players a chance to climb back up alongside everyone else. A new Battle Pass will also launch alongside the season, bringing another set of unlockable cosmetics to earn through play.

For players on console, Marvel Rivals remains available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as well as PC, and a PSN Gift Card (US) is a straightforward way to fund a Season 10 Battle Pass purchase or bundle spending once the new season goes live.
