Another event, Gone Nutty For Gifts, encourages players to complete missions for free rewards like Magneto’s Black & Gold costume and bundle. Premium unlocks include Winter Soldier’s Winter Buckaroo costume and Squirrel Girl’s Tinsel Tail costume. This event shares the same period as the festival.
From December 24, 2025, to December 27, 2025, the Winter Gift event allows daily visits to the Christmas tree in Times Square for random Units. Additionally, the Pym Test Kitchen event debuts the Pym-ini Sandwich, starting December 18 at 09:00:00 UTC, where players can taste-test the new recipe.
The Festive Throwback tab in the store revives classic limited-edition costumes, such as Storm’s Ultimate Wind-Rider Bundle and Venom’s Snow Symbiote Bundle, available from December 19, 2025, at 02:00:00 UTC to January 2, 2026, at 02:00:00 UTC.
New store additions include Peni Parker’s Snow-SP//dr Bundle, Star-Lord’s Starcracker Bundle, and Daredevil’s Not Daredevil Bundle, on sale until January 16, 2026. Emote updates feature the Take a Seat Combo for The Punisher, Mantis, and Peni Parker, plus Jeff the Land Shark’s Blizzard Ball Emote and new chromas for the Cuddly Fuzzlefin costume, all from December 19.
Bug fixes address a pink screen issue with NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation, squad voice chat malfunctions at match start, and frame rate drops with Blade’s Team-Up Ability.
This follows the recent Season 5.5 update, which introduced Rogue as a new hero.
