The game Marvel Rivals, developed by NetEase Games, has reached an impressive 10 million players in just over a week since its launch. To celebrate, the company has announced a free reward for all players: an exclusive spray inspired by Galacta, daughter of Galactus, a character who has been gaining prominence in the game's universe.
According to NetEase, the design of the spray is still in the final stages. However, players who log in will automatically receive the item once it becomes available. In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), the developer's team reinforced the simplicity of the process: "All you need to do is log in to the game to claim your reward. It's completely free!", the company said, exciting the gaming community.
Galacta and its growing popularity
Although little known among Marvel fans, Galacta has stood out in Marvel Rivals, playing the role of narrator in the game and appearing in promotional materials. Her presence, although limited at the moment, raises speculation about the character's future, both within the game and in other formats, such as comics, animations or even in MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe).
The success of Marvel Rivals could open the door for further exploration of Galacta in the media. This move would not be unprecedented, as Marvel often capitalizes on the success of its games to promote characters on other platforms.
Marvel Rivals Offers Free Iron Man Skin to Players
The game's developer, NetEase Games, has made available an exclusive code that grants the skin for free. Armor Model 42 Iron Man. This offer is part of the game's welcome strategy, with new codes expected to be released in the coming months. In a post on the game's official X profile (formerly Twitter), the team presented the special skin with an engaging narrative: “After returning to Earth and facing epic challenges, Tony Stark sought to improve his creations. The result was Armor Model 42, powered by Repulsor Tech Cores and designed to overcome any battle.”
The skin Armor Model 42 can be obtained free of charge until the day March 5, 2025, at 9pm (Brasília time), using the code nwarh4k3xqy. Check out the step-by-step guide to redeeming:
- Access the menu Settings, in the upper right corner of the game's home screen;

- Enter the code nwarh4k3xqy in the message box and confirm;

In addition to rewards like this, Marvel Rivals is a free game available for PC and consoles. The combination of free access and special content keeps the game attractive to new and veteran players.
Paid content and new costumes
In addition to the free reward, NetEase launched new paid items on December 13, including themed costumes for Thor and Star Lord. Thor's look is inspired by the film “Thor: Love and Thunder”, while Star-Lord's is inspired by the redesign of the comic “Master of the Sun”, created by Juann Cabal in collaboration with the screenwriter Al Ewing.
These costumes expand customization options and reinforce the game's connection to the Marvel universe, pleasing both comic book and movie fans.
With regular updates and a growing number of players, the future of Marvel Rivals is promising. The next big thing will be the launch of a new season, scheduled for January 2025, which promises to bring more challenges and content to keep the experience fresh.
