Marvel Rivals – PS4, Switch and Xbox One Release Explained
If you want to play Marvel Rivals on the previous generation consoles, we have bad news for you. Some time ago Pocket Tactics interviewed Marvel Rivals director Thaddeus Sasser. Among other things, the developer stated that there is no ongoing discussion regarding handheld version, and they do not plan to release the game on Switch.
