Marvel Rivals: How to Switch Between Battle Passes

You know how sometimes you’re playing a game and realize you missed out on unlocking something from an older battle pass? Marvel Rivals actually handles this pretty well. Unlike most games where old battle passes disappear forever, here you can still work on your previous passes – with a few important conditions, of course.

Let me walk you through exactly how this works, what you need to know about tokens, and how to make the most of the system.

How to Access Old Battle Passes in Marvel Rivals

Getting to your old battle passes is straightforward, though the menu option isn’t immediately obvious when you first look for it. Start by opening Marvel Rivals and heading to the Season tab. Once you’re there, look in the top right corner of your screen – you’ll see a square icon called the Nexus. Click on that, and it’ll take you to a screen showing all your available battle passes.

When you select an old battle pass, it becomes your main one in the Season tab. Think of it like changing which book you’re reading – you can always switch back to the current season’s pass through that same Nexus menu whenever you want. The game remembers your progress on each pass separately, so you don’t lose anything by switching between them.

Do Chrono Tokens Expire in Marvel Rivals?

Here’s something really important about your Chrono Tokens – they do reset when a new season starts in Marvel Rivals, but there’s a catch. Any tokens you earn just by playing will disappear when the season changes. However, if you bought tokens using Lattice (that’s the premium currency you get with real money), those ones stick around.

This reset system means you might want to think carefully about how you use your tokens. A good approach is to focus on the current season’s rewards first, since you’ll be earning new tokens anyway. Then, if you have extra tokens left over, you can use those to unlock things from your older passes.

Unfortunately, once a battle pass season ends, you can’t buy it anymore. This is probably the strictest part of the whole system – if you didn’t get the Luxury version of a battle pass during its active season, those rewards are basically locked away forever. There’s currently no way to go back and purchase old passes, even if you’re willing to pay for them now.

This might seem a bit harsh, but it does come with an upside – if you did buy the Luxury version during the active season, you never lose access to those potential rewards.

You can take as long as you want to unlock everything, working on it whenever you have the tokens to spare. The game won’t rush you or take away your chance to get those rewards.

The battle pass-switching system in Marvel Rivals is actually pretty player-friendly, as long as you remember to buy the Luxury version during the active season
