Look Sports Media – A bombshell dropped at the end of the Marvel Rivals Season 4 trailer: the hero shooter is coming to PlayStation 4 on September 12th! Rumors swirling about a PS4 release have finally been confirmed, bringing the action to the aging console just in time for its 12th birthday. The news was further solidified by NetEase Creative Director Guangguang in the latest Dev Vision, stating, "Marvel Rivals will be available on PS4 on September 12th. We sincerely appreciate everyone’s support and are committed to delivering an even better experience in the future."
The thumbnail of the trailer itself also lists PS4 alongside PS5, leaving little room for doubt. While crossplay is expected, allowing PS4 and PS5 players to team up, PS5 owners might need to download the PS4 version for compatibility, a common occurrence in cross-gen titles.
Naturally, concerns about performance on the aging hardware are rife. Jokes abound within the community, with many suggesting Dr. Strange’s portals might just overload PS4s. However, this development could be a significant boon for potential Nintendo Switch 2 players; if the PS4 can handle it, the new handheld likely can too. An Xbox One port remains unconfirmed, contingent on the PS4 version’s success.

Beyond the platform expansion, Season 4 brings a double dose of hero action. Angela, a tanky vanguard character with a confirmed Thor team-up, leads the charge. Daredevil will follow later in Season 4.5, with leaked voice lines hinting at a potential Deadpool addition down the line. The Marvel Rivals esports scene is also gaining momentum, with the game charting a positive course without any immediate franchising plans. This expansion to PS4 could be the catalyst for even greater growth. The future of Marvel Rivals is looking incredibly bright.
