How did the event pass work?
Players earned XP and leveled up to unlock rewards. Marvel’s announcement described the free progression as a way to earn rewards, “including the new Thor – Worthy Waves costume!” The Thing – Sunshine Thing and Luna Snow – Cool Summer were additional Premium rewards. Marvel also said the Premium Edition provided “permanent access”; that described the 2025 pass arrangement, not an offer that remains available now. Marvel Rivals Version 20250717 patch notes.
