Marvel Rivals, NetEase’s upcoming 6v6 team-based superhero shooter, will hold a cross-play closed beta on PC and console starting on June 23rd.
The closed beta test will open at 3pm PDT and run through August 5th at 12am PDT. NetEase announced the beta test, along with details on supported regions, available languages, and even the maps and characters to expect in the test.
If you want to play Marvel Rivals on PlayStation 5 or Xbox, you can already sign up for beta consideration, with invites to be sent via email. If you want in on PC, you will have to wait until July 20th to try your luck and request access via Steam. The beta starts on July 23rd, so the team promises to send out confirmed acceptances very quickly.
