For all the PlayStation 4 owners out there holding their breath, I've got some great news for you. If you've been wondering whether you'll be able to assemble your team of superheroes and villains in the new team-based shooter, Marvel Rivals, you're in luck. This is a post I've been excited to write for a while, as I've been keeping a close eye on this game's development.

So, is Marvel Rivals on PS4? Yes, it is! Marvel Rivals officially launched on the PlayStation 4 on September 12, 2025. You're now able to jump into the action and play as your favorite characters on your PS4. This is a huge win for PS4 players, as it's not always a guarantee that new games will be released on last-generation consoles.

I remember when the game was first announced, my friends and I were all hyped, but my buddy who still games on his trusty PS4 was worried he'd be left out. We were all relieved when the official announcement came through. It's great that the developers are making the game accessible to as many players as possible.

What to Expect on PS4

While the game is on PS4, you might be wondering if the experience will be different from the PlayStation 5 version. Here's what to expect:

• Gameplay: The core gameplay experience will be the same across all platforms. You'll still get the same 6v6 team-based action, destructible environments, and a roster of iconic Marvel characters.
• Graphics and Performance: The PS5 version will have some graphical advantages, such as higher resolutions and frame rates. However, the game has been built to run smoothly on the PS4 as well, so you can still expect a great-looking and fun game. I played the beta on my PC and it ran really well, which gives me hope for the console versions.
• Cross-Platform Play: One of the big questions is about cross-platform play. While it has not been officially confirmed, many modern multiplayer games launch with this feature. It would be great to be able to team up with friends regardless of which console they're on.

One thing to note is that while the game is on PS4, it seems like there won't be a version for the Xbox One. So if you're a Marvel fan with an Xbox One, you might be out of luck for now. You can read more about that in our post about whether Marvel Rivals is on Xbox One.

If you're planning on making any in-game purchases in Marvel Rivals, like new character skins or battle passes, did you know you can earn gift cards just by playing other games? With Playstorm, you can play fun mobile games and earn points that you can redeem for PlayStation vouchers. It's a great way to get some extra in-game currency without spending your own money.
