This skin features Thor in his classic comic book appearance with the iconic winged helmet from Thor #1. The costume includes a deep navy blue chest piece decorated with silver discs, complemented by a crimson cape.
To get this skin, you need to complete all five chapters of the Midnight Features event running from January 10 to February 7, 2025. The chapters unlock gradually:
Make sure to complete all chapters before February 7 to claim the skin, as it won’t be available after the event ends.
The Will of Galacta collection for Hela is available through the Season 1 Twitch Drops event running from January 10th to January 25th, 2024. This collection includes:
To earn these cosmetics, make sure your Twitch and Marvel Rivals accounts are linked, then watch any Marvel Rivals stream with “Drops Enabled” in the title.
Remember that you can only earn progress from one stream at a time, and you’ll need to claim your rewards from your Twitch inventory before they appear in your game mailbox.
This skin gives Hela a cosmic makeover with stars and space elements while maintaining her green color scheme in the comics. Her cape appears to flow with cosmic energy.
You can get it from Page 3 of the Season 0 Battle Pass for 400 Chrono Tokens, but first, you need to unlock everything else on that page. The tokens are earned by playing matches and completing daily challenges.
Star-Lord’s Jovial Star skin gives him a brighter color scheme with red and gold accents on his signature jacket. To unlock it, you need 400 Achievement Points from Heroic Journey challenges.
The fastest way is to play as Star-Lord and get 10 eliminations with assists from other Guardians – that means teaming up with Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Adam Warlock, or Mantis. Pick your favorite Guardian teammate and focus on combo attacks to earn this one quickly.
This elegant skin dresses Storm in a tight body suit and flowing white cape with silver and gold accents. Her hair takes on a striking white color that matches the outfit’s theme.
To get this skin, you need 200 Achievement Points from Heroic Journey challenges. The specific task requires you to get 10 assists while playing as Storm alongside X-Men members. Team up with Magneto, Psylocke, Wolverine, or Namor to make progress. Focus on supporting your X-Men teammates in fights rather than going for eliminations yourself.
This skin transforms Moon Knight’s usual white costume into a striking black and golden version. All the armor details and cape remain the same, but with a metallic gold finish that makes him stand out. You’ll need to reach Gold rank in Competitive Play during Season 0 to unlock it.
This means playing ranked matches and winning enough to climb through Bronze and Silver first. Season 0 runs until early January, so you have some time to work on your competitive skills.
Based on the 2012 comic run, this armor gives Tony a sleek black and gold color scheme. The suit features more angular designs than his standard armor, with gold highlights running along the joints and chest piece.
Getting this skin is straightforward – just enter the code “nwarh4k3xqy” in the game’s code redemption menu, which you can find in the settings.
This skin reimagines Peni with a symbiote theme, covering her mech in metallic grey and purple patterns similar to Venom.
It’s free for PlayStation Plus subscribers – just claim it from the PS Plus rewards section. If you’re on another platform, you can still get it from the in-game store for Units.
This PlayStation-exclusive skin lets you play as Kaine Parker’s version of the Scarlet Spider. The costume features a red suit and distinctive black web patterns with a black head mask.
To get it, you just need to log into the game on a PlayStation console. The skin will automatically be added to your account, but remember it won’t transfer to other platforms since there’s no cross-progression yet.
Each skin has a different unlocking process in Marvel Rivals. Once you meet the requirements, you’ll find PlayStation-exclusive skins automatically in your inventory when you log in. Achievement-based skins like Storm and Star-Lord’s need to be claimed from the Achievements menu after completing their challenges.
For the Iron Man skin, head to the code redemption page in settings. Twitch Drop rewards appear in your account shortly after watching enough streams, as long as your accounts are linked.
Some free skins in Marvel Rivals were only available for a limited time during the game’s testing phases. These skins can no longer be obtained, but it’s worth knowing about them in case they return in the future.
The Moonlit Witch skin gave Scarlet Witch a more moonlight-themed appearance. This skin was a special reward for participating in the closed alpha test in May 2024.
Since it was a PC-exclusive test, this skin is currently only available to players who claimed it during that period on PC. Due to the current lack of cross-progression, even if you earned it on PC, you won’t be able to use it on other platforms.
This unique variant gave Venom a striking cyan color scheme instead of his usual black appearance. The symbiote effects and animations remained the same but featured the bright cyan coloring throughout.
This skin was a reward for participating in the closed beta test during summer 2024. Like other test rewards, it’s no longer possible to obtain this skin if you didn’t participate in the beta.
This skin gives Magneto a cosmic purple color scheme inspired by Galacta. To unlock it, you need to watch Marvel Rivals streams on Twitch for 4 hours during Season 0. Make sure your Twitch account is linked to your game account first, and look for streams with “Drops Enabled” in their title.
The Winter Celebration Event brings this cozy version of Jeff the Land Shark. Instead of his usual scaly appearance, this skin wraps Jeff in warm, fuzzy winter gear. The skin has a black color scheme with yellow accents.
To get it, you’ll need to participate in the Winter Celebration event starting December 20 during Season 0. You will need to complete Winter Celebration challenges.
It’s worth noting that while these skins are currently unavailable, similar exclusive rewards might appear in. The developers might also choose to bring back these skins through different means in the future, though no such plans have been announced.
Most of these skins are tied to Season 0, running until early January. Some might stay available longer, but it’s best to get them while you can, especially the seasonal ones like Jeff’s winter skin. While these skins don’t cost money, they do take time – whether you’re grinding achievements, watching streams, or climbing competitive ranks.
