The development team at NetEase Games has recently disclosed the performance capabilities of Marvel Rivals on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro consoles, with results that might pleasantly surprise the gaming community. Over recent months, NetEase has dedicated significant effort to optimizing Marvel Rivals for previous-generation hardware, ensuring a smooth gaming experience despite the technical limitations of older systems.

Originally launched in December 2024, Marvel Rivals made its debut as a competitive team-based hero shooter that allows players to control their favorite Marvel superheroes and villains. The initial release was exclusive to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms, leaving owners of older gaming consoles waiting for their chance to join the battle.

Technical Performance Specifications on PlayStation 4

In an exciting development for last-gen console owners, NetEase recently confirmed that Marvel Rivals will be arriving on PlayStation 4 on September 12th. The official game website published a detailed post outlining the expected performance metrics for both PlayStation 4 models, though the developers note that not all performance data has been fully verified through final testing.

The standard PlayStation 4, despite being nearly 12 years old, will support the game running at 1080p resolution with a stable 30 frames per second. Meanwhile, the enhanced PlayStation 4 Pro demonstrates significantly improved performance, achieving 1440p resolution at 60 frames per second. This performance boost aligns with the PS4 Pro's substantially greater processing power compared to the base model, and interestingly matches the standard performance mode specifications of the PlayStation 5 version.

Both PlayStation 4 versions will require 40 GB of available storage space for installation. The timing of this release coincides perfectly with the launch of the game's fourth season, which introduces new content including hero Angela, additional arcade modes, and the K'un-Lun - Heart of Heaven map scheduled for October. The development team has hinted at even more surprises planned for Season 4, ensuring that PlayStation 4 players will have plenty of fresh content to explore.
