Marvel Rivals is becoming a major name in the hero shooter PvP genre. With a full battle pass system and a store packed with cosmetics, the game keeps players engaged. It also offers multiple game modes, including a competitive one. But if you just want to play for fun without pressure, custom games are the perfect option.
This guide will show you how to create custom games in Marvel Rivals, whether you want to play with friends, bots, or both.
What Are Custom Games in Marvel Rivals?
Custom games allow you to create private lobbies where you can adjust the game rules as you like. This is ideal for practice, strategy testing, or casual play without worrying about winning or losing.
For example, if you want to improve with a specific hero, you can set up a match with bots on a particular map. Or, if you’re playing with friends, you can create a custom game to test strategies without competitive pressure.
Benefits of Custom Games:
- Adjust bot difficulty to match your skill level.
- Customize maps and game settings.
- Play with friends in balanced teams.
- Explore maps freely without restrictions.
- Experiment with different game configurations.
