Marvel Rivals officially launches on December 6, 2024, and is now offering Twitch Drops. But are they worth watching? We introduce you to the new rewards.
Marvel Rivals is gearing up for launch, bringing an exciting new arena shooter format alongside features that could appeal to the community.
The innovative 6v6 format is heavily inspired by elements from Overwatch, offering over 33 playable characters and 10 dynamic maps that promise to impress.
Developer NetEase has now announced support for Twitch Drops.
Are Twitch drops worth it?
Twitch Drops are rewards that viewers can earn by watching streams of specific games on Twitch.
These rewards can include in-game items like skins, weapons, or boosts, and are designed to encourage interaction between streamers and their communities.
To claim the Drops, viewers must link their game account with Twitch.

Some of the most popular Twitch Drops campaigns include those for Valorant, where viewers gained access to the closed beta by watching for just two hours – a major success that helped boost the game's popularity.
Another example is Escape from Tarkov, which regularly offers rare in-game items during significant updates or events.
What drops can Marvel Rivals offer?
The first Marvel Rivals Twitch Drops mainly focus on Magneto and his exclusive outfit and gear.
Alongside Captain America, Iron Man, and Hulk, there are over 30 additional characters to choose from, which suggests similar skin campaigns will likely follow on Twitch.
Magneto, Master of Magnetism, is available as a powerful tank in Marvel Rivals Season 0.
