Marvel Rivals Version 20251016 Patch Notes Bring Voice Changer and Custom Game Rules
Marvel Rivals Version 20251016 introduces a new in-game voice changer, custom game map selection rules, and bot costume options. The zero-downtime update also fixes visual bugs involving Mantis and Daredevil.
Marvel Rivals Version 20251016 rolls out on October 16, 2025, at 09:00 UTC without requiring server downtime. Players can log in immediately after the update to access new store bundles, Twitch drops, and quality-of-life adjustments.
Hero Fixes and Visual Adjustments
Mantis's Beach Blunder costume bug has been resolved, restoring the semi-transparent look of her swimsuit cover-up. Daredevil receives two major fixes: an issue where his material settings allowed him to detect Mantis's swimsuit from extreme ranges has been corrected, and performance issues impacting Radar Sense alongside other hero abilities have been smoothed out.
Custom Games and System Options
A new voice-changing system is now accessible through system settings, allowing players to alter their voices in-game. Custom matches receive bot costume customization and a revised map selection workflow for tournament rooms, giving hosts full control over initial maps, subsequent picks, and map pool rules.
Store Additions and Twitch Drops
Two limited-time bundles arrive in the store on October 17, 2025, running until November 14, 2025: the Squirrel Girl Turbo Tailwind Bundle and the Thor Lightning Fast Bundle. Additionally, tournament-specific Twitch drops featuring a commemorative spray and emoji will be available from October 16 to November 13, 2025.
Why this patch matters
This minor update focuses on clearing up specific hero visual bugs and introducing practical backend tools for custom tournament hosts rather than shaking up the core meta.
