Marvel Rivals Prints Over $100 Million Revenue In A Historical First Month

Expert Verified By

The Game is Off To A Flying Start!

Story Highlight
  • Marvel Rivals has reportedly made a whopping $136 million in its first month.
  • The game has apparently made $100 million globally with China adding the rest.
  • Estimates suggest the game could make over a billion per annum at this rate.

If taking over the movie world wasn’t enough for Marvel, the company has also been making steps to dominate the gaming industry. And, titles like Spider-Man and Guardians of the Galaxy have pushed them in the right direction in achieving this goal with massive sales and immense critical reception.

However, Marvel has been lacking a major live-service attraction with its Avengers game from Square Enix failing. But it seems like the comic giant has found its answer in Marvel Rivals from NetEase, which launched last month with an overwhelmingly positive response and has since been raking in the money.

Why it matters: Marvel Rivals seemingly has the potential to be a certified money-maker for the company.

Marvel Rivals 136 Million Revenue First Month
Marvel Rivals Introduced The Fantastic Four Right After Release.

According to Chinese outlet GameLook, the total gross of the NetEase hero shooter is almost $136.4 million. Marvel Rivals has made a whopping $54.5 million on Steam alone, with PlayStation 5 also bringing in a total of $27.2 million.

On the other hand, Marvel Rivals has only made about $2.7 million from the Xbox Series consoles. Furthermore, as the hero shooter is also available on other PC clients, GameLook estimates its global revenue alone is close to $100 million, without even accounting for China.

According to estimates, if NetEase is able to sustain steady player traffic and keep bringing in interesting content like the Fantastic Four, Marvel Rivals could be set to make $1.36 billion per annum.

Marvel Rivals also had a supreme start on Steam, peaking with over 400k concurrent players on the platform. Since its launch on December 6, the game has maintained a daily concurrent player count around this number and also has good reviews on Steam, with an 80% very positive rating.
