It’s hard to recall a game that has generated as much excitement as NetEase's latest hero shooter, Marvel Rivals. With the much-anticipated Season 1 update on the horizon, players are eager to discover how they can gain early access to this thrilling new content.
How to Play Marvel Rivals Season 1 Early
The buzz around Marvel Rivals Season 1 is palpable, fueled by a constant stream of updates and sneak peeks from the game's official social media channels. While some streamers have already gotten their hands on the update, leaving many players feeling left out, there's a way for a select few to secure early access and never miss out again.
Those playing Marvel Rivals Season 1 early are part of the game’s Creator Community. This group, comprising gamers who applied and were approved, enjoys early access to updates and other exclusive information. Though it might seem like an exclusive club, anyone can apply. Here's how:
- Visit the Creator Hub on Marvel Rivals’ official website.
- Click the form at the bottom of the screen and fill it out with the required information.
- Wait for a response from NetEase Games.
Before applying, it's crucial to understand that while the application doesn't request metrics like subscriber counts or channel statistics, the reviewers will likely notice if an account was created solely to gain early access. For those just starting out, it might be wise to wait a bit before applying.
