Marvel Rivals system requirements

To meet the Marvel Rivals requirements, you will need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, an Intel Core i5-6600K CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 70GB of space. 

This PvP hero-shooter doesn't demand a great deal from your PC's graphics card or processor, but it'll take a serious amount of RAM to actually run the Marvel Rivals system requirements.

To meet the Marvel Rivals minimum requirements, you only need an AMD RX 580 graphics card, an AMD Ryzen 5 1600X processor, and 16GB of RAM. Given that the game only calls for a graphics card from 2016, most older computers and laptops should have no issues running the game, even if it's only on the lowest settings. However, the base RAM requirement could prove a little stickier for rigs stuck on 8GB of RAM. 

Meeting the Marvel Rival recommended specs is a little trickier, but by no means out of reach for most modern PCs, needing only an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER GPU, an Intel Core i5-10400 CPU, and 16GB of RAM. It's great that the overall RAM requirement didn't rise further, but it's even better that Marvel Rivals doesn't demand too much from your PC to achieve 60FPS on 1440p monitors. You can easily push the game further and uncap your FPS with more advanced hardware, but you'll want to ensure everything is installed on an SSD to reduce loading times. 

If you're looking for even higher FPS, we've created our own Marvel Rival ultra specs based off extensive hardware benchmarking and our FPS calculator. To achieve an average 100FPS, you'll want an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER GPU, an Intel Core i9-14900K CPU, and 32GB of RAM. This is, of course, a powerful rig, but it'll give you a considerable edge over the competition so long as your internet connection is up to snuff.

Marvel Rivals size - How big is Marvel Rivals?

The Marvel Rivals download size on PC is 70GB of HD space. On Xbox and PlayStation, Marvels Rivals needs only 40GB of space for the initial download.

Fortunately, once you've made sure your PC at least meets the above, you can grab a free Marvel Rivals download from Steam or the Epic Games Store.

We recommend installing the game on an SSD to ensure the best gameplay performance. So, if you need more space or want to make an upgrade, check the PCGamesN buyers guide for the best SSD for gaming or just check the latest, best prices for SSDs.

Marvel Rivals settings

Getting Marvel Rivals to run at 60FPS on a 1440p monitor or greater isn't too difficult so long as you meet the recommended Marvel Rivals specs. The PCGamesN hardware team only encountered frame rate drops below 60FPS when pushing the graphics preset towards the Ultra end of the spectrum. So, if you want to remain competitive, keep your Marvel Rivals settings on High rather than Ultra, even if your hardware vastly exceeds what you might otherwise need. 

As a multiplayer game, frame rate drops can mean the difference between winning and losing, so don't worry about graphical fidelity too much unless you're planning on taking up a sniper-archetype role. 

Marvel Rivals Steam Deck

The current Marvel Rivals Steam Deck rating sits at "Unknown" but is very likely to be "Unsupported" given the game's apparent Linux compatibility issues.
