The Marvel Rivals trailer shows that the game will be coming to PC when it's released. Players can download it from the Epic Games Store and Steam. 

Although there's no confirmed release date for Marvel Rivals, a Closed Alpha Test will occur in May 2024. Players can get a sneak peek of the title and participate in its development process by providing feedback. NetEase clearly stated that the Closed Alpha Test will also be exclusive to PC as well.
