Marvel Rivals Update Adds First Steps Team-Up and Hero Fixes

Marvel Rivals version 20250724 brings a downtime-free patch featuring a Human Torch and The Thing Team-Up ability alongside various bug fixes.

Marvel Rivals deploys version 20250724 without requiring server downtime, introducing a new Team-Up ability for the Fantastic Four alongside targeted hero bug fixes.

New Team-Up Ability

Human Torch and The Thing gain the First Steps Team-Up ability. Johnny serves as the anchor, lifting Ben into the air and hurling him down to deal damage, launch enemies, and deploy a mobility-disabling zone.

Accessory Points Update

The rate at which Accessory Points can be earned has been increased. Quick Matches now grant 15 points per match, while Practice VS. AI matches grant 10 points.

Hero Bug Fixes

Spider-Man's selection box marks for Spider-Tracer and Burn-Tracer now display correctly. Black Widow's Edge Dancer ability logic is no longer disrupted if she is launched mid-move, and Rocket Raccoon's B.R.B. revive counter has been corrected. Additionally, Phoenix's mid-air turning during her Ultimate is no longer dependent on frame rate.

Why this patch matters

This minor update cleanly introduces Fantastic Four synergy mechanics and resolves several frustrating character-specific visual and operational bugs.
