Marvel Rivals has an in-game store full of cosmetics you can purchase, but there are also plenty of free skins to unlock if you know where to look.
Just like Overwatch and other online shooting games, Marvel Rivals is free to play, making money from in-game purchases rather than charging an entry fee. With this in mind, if you want most of the Battle Pass rewards or colorful costumes for your favorite characters, you usually have to pay for the privilege.
However, there is also a selection of skins that are available at no extra cost. So, here’s a breakdown of them all and how to get them in Season 1.
Free Marvel Rivals skins (February 2025)
How to get free skins
There are plenty of ways to get free skins but the two most common are from the Battle Pass or Heroic Achievements. Each new Battle Pass, including the Season 1 pass that dropped on January 10, features some free costumes that are even available to those who don’t buy the premium version.
Meanwhile, you can also get free Storm and Star-Lord skins by earning Heroic Achievement points for completing specific challenges. However, these don’t rotate, so once you’ve unlocked both, there are no more to get.
Here’s a full list of all the different ways you can get costumes without spending money:
- Free Battle Pass rewards
- Heroic Achievements
- In-game events
- Competitive rewards
- Redeeming Codes
- Free downloads from PlayStation or Xbox store
- Claiming Twitch Drops
Expired skins
Although many of the free skins in the hero shooter are permanently available, others expire once they’ve been live for a certain length of time. So far, nine have been and gone, including the Twitch Drop Magneto skin and the rewards from closed alpha and beta.
The Season 2 update is due to arrive on April 11, at which point many of the current free cosmetics, including Competitive rewards will also expire.
We’ll be keeping this page updated with all the latest free skins up for grabs in Marvel Rivals, so be sure to check back regularly to keep your characters looking their best.
