Marvel Rivals is finally out of beta access, and has been released for both PC and consoles (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S). Being built on top of Unreal Engine 5, the game does scale rather nicely across a wide range of PC hardware – including handhelds.
Nevertheless, there do exist a set of optimized PC settings that net you improved performance with a very minimal hit to image quality – which can be found discussed below.
