Marvel Rivals system requirements

Can I run Marvel Rivals?

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 125GB of HDD or SSD space.

As a PvP hero-shooter, this game doesn't demand a whole lot from your PC or laptop, but you will need a decent amount of RAM to match the Marvel Rivals system requirements, even on the lowest settings.

To meet the Marvel Rivals minimum requirements, you 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 you don't dial the game's settings down to their lowest. Unfortunately, the high 16GB RAM demand could be the limiting factor for said older devices, especially if they're limited to 8GB of RAM.

Meeting the Marvel Rival recommended specs is by no means out of reach for most modern PCs running Windows 10 or 11 OS, 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 the game doesn't demand too much from your PC to achieve 60FPS on 1440p monitors.

If you're looking for even higher FPS, we've created our own Marvel Rival ultra specs based off extensive hardware benchmarking using our dedicated FPS test. To achieve an average of 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.

You can easily push the game further and uncap your FPS with more advanced hardware, but you'll want to ensure everything is running on a good internet connection to meet the Marvel Rivals PC requirements. As an online multiplayer game, connectivity issues are significantly worse than any graphics quality. You'll want a connection faster than 10Mbps to say the very least, but 300Mbps+ should result in a smooth experience.

Marvel Rivals size - How big is Marvel Rivals Season 2?

The Marvel Rivals download size on PC is 124.6GB of HD space in total for the latest season. On consoles, the game requires much less, demanding only 50GB on Xbox Series X.

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 the game to run at 60FPS on a 1440p monitor or greater isn't too difficult so long as you meet the recommended 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

Check PCGamesN for the current Marvel Rivals Steam Deck situation - the rating sits at "Playable" but largely only remains one step away from the coveted "Verified" rating due to the requirement for an onscreen keyboard for specific inputs. Other than that, the game plays great!
