Marvel Rivals has been building massive hype, thanks to its growing roster of heroes, stunning skins, and exciting maps. But with any free-to-play game comes the inevitable question: how will monetization work?
Thankfully, the developers have broken it all down in a recent blog post, giving us a clear picture of how the game’s currencies, skin pricing, and Battle Pass system will function. Here’s the lowdown!
All Marvel Rivals Currencies Explained
Marvel Rivals features three types of currencies, each with a unique role in the game’s economy:
Currency | How to Get It | What It’s For |
---|---|---|
Units | Earned through missions, Achievements, Events, or the free Battle Pass. | Used to buy skins, bundles, and other shop items. |
Lattice | Purchased with real money (or obtained in small amounts through the Battle Pass). | Premium currency for high-end purchases, can be exchanged for Units. |
Chrono Tokens | Earned by completing tasks and events in-game. | Unlocks Battle Pass rewards (free and premium tiers). |
Units: The Earnable Currency
Units are the free-to-earn currency, letting you snag cool cosmetics without spending real money. You can get these by completing missions, Achievements, and Events—or grabbing them from the Battle Pass.
Lattice: The Premium Currency
Lattice is for players ready to spend real cash for premium items. Here’s how pricing works in the US:
- $0.99 = 100 Lattice
- $99.99 = 11,680 Lattice
Plus, you can convert Lattice to Units at a 1:1 ratio, making it flexible for different purchases.
Chrono Tokens: Battle Pass-Exclusive Currency
Chrono Tokens are tied to the Battle Pass. They’re your key to unlocking both free and premium rewards, earned through gameplay tasks and events.
Skin Pricing and Bundles
Cosmetics are one of the game’s big draws, and skins are available individually or as part of discounted bundles. Here’s a snapshot of the pricing:
Bundle Type | Cost (Units) | Standard Value (Units) | Discount |
---|---|---|---|
Epic-Quality Bundle | 1,600 | 2,200 | 28% |
MCU Epic-Quality Bundle | 1,800 | 2,400 | 25% |
Legendary-Quality Bundle | 2,400 | 3,300 | 28% |
What’s in a Bundle?
A typical Standard Epic-Quality Bundle includes:
- A costume/skin
- MVP animation
- Emote
- Spray
- Nameplate
For reference, $0.99 = 100 Units, so a 1,600 Unit bundle will cost roughly $16.
