NetEase's Marvel Rivals is generating major buzz, and its upcoming Season 1 update is no exception. Many gamers are eager for early access. While some streamers already have it, there's a path to early access for others: the Creator Community.
How to Access Marvel Rivals Season 1 Early
The excitement surrounding Season 1 stems from the steady stream of online reveals from the developers. However, early access has been granted to a select group. This exclusive access is provided to members of the game's Creator Community. While it might seem exclusive to large streamers, anyone can apply. The process is as follows:
- Visit the Creator Hub on the official Marvel Rivals website.
- Locate the application form at the bottom of the page.
- Complete the form with the required information.
- Await a response from NetEase Games.
It's important to note that while the application doesn't explicitly request metrics like subscriber counts, applicants should have established a genuine online presence. New accounts created solely for early access are unlikely to be successful.

What Awaits in Marvel Rivals Season 1?
While the Season 1 Creator Community window may be closed, the update launches Friday, January 10th. Expect two new playable characters—Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman—along with new maps, game modes, and a substantial Battle Pass boasting 10 unlockable skins, including the Blood Berserker Wolverine and Bounty Hunter Rocket Raccoon costumes. Existing characters will also receive balance adjustments (buffs and nerfs). For a detailed breakdown of these changes, check out The Escapist's comprehensive analysis.
That's how to pursue early access to Marvel Rivals Season 1. Good luck!
