Players of Marvel Rivals have raised concerns about excessive visual effects in the game's latest update. The Apocalypse-themed Season 9 introduced the new hero Jubilee but has drawn criticism for reduced readability in combat.
The update has sparked widespread complaints on social media and the game's subreddit. Users report being overwhelmed by bright, colorful effects from abilities, with one player noting that their eyes hurt from the clutter. Others described the experience as nauseating or impossible to follow during team fights.
Performance problems have accompanied the visual issues. Framerates drop on many PC setups, prompting questions about how the PlayStation 4 version is faring. Steam recent reviews have shifted to mixed amid reports of crashes and balance concerns.
A mid-season refresh is planned for 7th August. Players hope the development team will address the growing list of issues in the coming update.
