Marvel Rivals Version 20260122 Patch Adds Disco Area and Hero Fixes

Marvel Rivals brings a Times Square Disco Ballroom event, faster proficiency gains, and visual adjustments for Deadpool, Phoenix, and other heroes.

Marvel Rivals deployed a zero-downtime update featuring an anniversary map event, accelerated progression mechanics, and targeted visual fixes across multiple heroes.

Times Square Disco Ballroom

Luna Snow's eighth anniversary debut brings an underground Disco Ballroom to Times Square on January 23, 2026. New Luna Snow and Thor store bundles arrive alongside limited-time extensions for several previous character cosmetics stretching into February.

Progression and Technical Fixes

Quick Match and Competitive permanent missions for Lord tier and above now grant a 30 percent proficiency boost, while Arcade Daily missions gain five repeatable attempts. A spectator ban/pick glitch that scrambled info in live and tournament modes is also fixed.

Map and Hero Visual Polish

Tight passageways on Yggsgard: Yggdrasill Path have been widened to prevent mission vehicles from getting stuck. Deadpool receives visual polish across strategist healing, vanguard bonus health, katana ultimate trails, and screen clutter from 'Deadpool In Your Area'. Phoenix's ultimate is no longer vulnerable to friendly teammate projectiles, and heroes like Spider-Man now correctly receive ultimate charge after terrain KOs influenced by crowd control.

Why this patch matters

A quality-of-life heavy update that cleans up visual clutter, smooths progression bottlenecks, and drops celebratory event content.
