Hey nerds!
Deadpool is taking over the patch notes here. Because no one reads patch notes unless they need to know if the main has been nerfed or not. And then you whine that there are no balance updates here, and then some random internet person tells you that what you really want is a balance post, not patch notes. That’s right, Internet people! Well, what do you think? Season 6 is almost here! (It took you this long to add me!? Who came before, oh Gambit and Rogue… together? #$%&that!) Anyway, here I am, playable, and ready to make the Collector’s Museum wilder than the taco truck at Biker Rally.
By the way, I think you should tell them that the game is going to end Approximately 2 hours from 9:00 a.m. (UTC) on January 16th Meanwhile, the backroom tech wizards inject me into the mainframe (or whatever they do). Anyway, let’s break through the fourth wall and get the goods!
something new
The greatest hero of all time (It’s Me!)
Deadpool joins Marvel Rivals! Katana, Quip, and Healing Factor are now available at nearby spawn points. I’m here to get attention. And yes, I speak. a lot.
New plot twists and stories
1. New series Night Museum! It’s similar to the others, but with more explosions and 90% more Deadpool.
2. The new Deadpool legend – the hero in your own heart. Man, that makes me angry!
Added more bragging rights to hero proficiency
Are you all the Lord? No more! Season 6 brings more levels, more rewards, and even more reasons to keep your main flexible. Unlock them all and make Robbie jealous.
(And the best part is, all those sweet proficiencies you’ve been accumulating aren’t wasted. Updates automatically convert them into shiny new levels. So if you’ve sweated it out and racked up a pile of proficiencies, you’ll instantly unlock new rewards. Boom! You’ve unlocked an achievement. No extra button mashing.)

Adjusting the mode
Resource rumble is rumbled:
Attention Quick Match fans (and everyone who quit Resource Rumble in a fit of rage). This mode and its map have been removed from Quick Match.
tournament
Alright, champions (and future champions, and those who just like free stuff), buckle up! Marvel Rivals Championship (MRC) Season 6 brings more changes than just Spider-Man’s costume.
Platinum 3 entry requirements: remain the same. No, you can’t bribe me or bribe the developers to sneak into bronze. Good luck, Buttercup!
Reward everyone!
Yes, it’s not just a faction that flexibly aims for the top. This season, rewards will rain down on you, from the champions to those who bravely (or hilariously) lose in the open qualifiers. That means all-new nameplates, sprays, exclusive emblems, and more.
And every placement gives you some units. Even if your team’s best move is a group dance at spawn. Want to learn more about all the rewards? Check out the Marvel Rivals Championship Rewards page. Come on, I’ll be waiting.
IGNITE 2026 is going to be hot!
As the 2026 Ignite series heats up, regional PC events during MRC Season 6 will be the last public shot to earn a starting slot at Ignite. Each region will hold at least 25% of preset slots for factions in MRC Season 6. It’s a calculation. So even if you only do a quarter better than expected, you still have a chance.
Champion Points: The Gift That Keeps Giving
Starting with Marvel Rivals Championship Season 7, you’ll be able to earn Champion Points just by participating and competing. Build high to fight for a chance at promotion or avoid relegation during the mid-season finals and post-season Pro League shuffle! Seasons 7-11: You can earn 26 Champion Points. Once Season 8 concludes, the top teams from that season and the cumulative “26 Champion Points” leaderboard (i.e., the “Never Miss a Season” tier) will qualify for the Ignite Midseason Qualifier and fight for a spot in the second stage of the Ignite Series in 2026.
Go ahead and make your mom proud!

Fixes and optimizations
all platforms
1. Scoreboard Limbo: Custom Games – Players could get stuck on the results screen after spectating in the tournament room. No more. you’re welcome!
computer
1. Mouse Optimization: Experimental optimization settings for high polling rate mice for all hardware snobs (polling rate 8K mice) ([設定]-[キーボード]). Enabling this may resolve related latency issues. Now your movement is as fast as my return.
2. Slimmed files: PC installations are now 15% smaller. More room for cat memes!
heroes
1. A lightning-struck, not-too-substantial wonder: Due to network lag, Thor’s Thor Force would sometimes appear to recharge, then disappear faster than Loki’s at family gatherings. If you use the disappeared Thor Force to activate the Awakening Rune, it will disappear midway through. Troublesome story…
*Most of this issue has been resolved. Some are still under investigation. Give it time, guys.
2. Magneto’s Magnetic Failure: If the Winter Soldier’s Tainted Voltage lands at the exact moment Magneto pops his ultimate, Magneto could be launched like a bad elevator ride. Now he’s keeping his feet on the ground. Unless he’s being dramatic, which is always the case.
3. Punisher’s Patchipin: Is the network atmosphere bad? The Punisher’s Vantage Connection may send him to unexpected places if the network condition is bad. It’s fixed now, so it no longer looks like you’re exploring the upside down on the internet. No more “Where am I?” FYI – you’re welcome.
4. Penetrating Projectile Pinball Physics: Some piercing projectiles decide to deal additional damage in very rare cases. This has been fixed so it can only be destroyed by skills, not RNGesus.
5. Strange’s Ground Gateway: Flying heroes could not use Doctor Strange portals cast directly on the ground. Ground Level Magic: Approved. The floor is not lava, it is fate.
More madness, memes, and mayhem coming soon. Stay tuned to the official Marvel Rivals channel or follow me. Anyway, I’m the most interesting. Patch notes rating: 11/10. Will the fourth wall break again? Deadpool is out! See you in season 6!
