NetEase's Marvel Rivals is generating major buzz, and its upcoming Season 1 update is no exception. Many gamers are eager to get early access. This guide explains how to join the select few who can.

How to Gain Early Access to Marvel Rivals Season 1

The excitement surrounding Marvel Rivals' Season 1 stems from the constant stream of online reveals. Developers are showcasing the new content via numerous videos on the game's official social media. However, some streamers received early access, leaving many players feeling excluded. Here's how to potentially avoid missing out in future updates.

Early access is granted to members of the game's Creator Community. Gamers apply, and those accepted gain early access to updates and exclusive information. While this might seem exclusive to top streamers, anyone can apply. Follow these steps:

1. Visit the Creator Hub on the official Marvel Rivals website.
2. Locate the application form at the bottom of the page.
3. Complete the form with the required information.
4. Await NetEase Games' response.

Important Note: While the application doesn't explicitly request metrics like subscriber counts, the reviewers will likely notice newly created accounts solely for early access. New creators might consider delaying their application.
