Despite there being no official release date for the full build, hype has been mounting for the new game nonetheless. Now as a lucky few check out the game early, you may be wondering if the game’s servers are working or not.

So here is everything you need to know about Marvel Rivals’ server status and any planned maintenance or outages to come.

Is Marvel Rivals down? 

Marvel Rivals is currently up and running in its Closed Alpha stage. 

At the start of the Closed Alpha, several players were getting connection errors when logging into the servers, however, those issues were from the players’ end. So if you’re having those problems, we’d recommend trying to restart the game or your PC.
