NetEase rolled out Marvel Rivals update 1.61 on July 16, 2026, bringing a fresh wave of cosmetics and returning events to both PC and console players. This patch shifts focus away from new hero releases and toward visual customization and quality-of-life fixes. Players who missed the Season 3 Battle Pass or specific limited-time events can now access those rewards again. The update also addresses several stability issues that affected team-based abilities and in-game mini-games.

NetEase releases cosmetic swaps and stability fixes for PC and consoles

The most visible addition is the 'Jeff the Dinosaur' outfit for Devil Dinosaur, which replaces the previous 'Devil Landshark' skin. The game's official channels described the change as a 'prehistoric glow-up' that prioritizes a cuter aesthetic. This cosmetic swap arrives alongside the return of the Season 3 Battle Pass, titled 'Power of the Phoenix.' The pass is available for a limited window starting with the July 16 release.

NetEase introduced new store bundles, including Hawkeye's 'Bed-Stuy’s Best Bundle' and a set of Invisible Woman cosmetics. The 'Van Dyne Couture' event launched simultaneously, offering Magneto's 'Magnetic Vintage' costume to all players for free. The 'Chrono-Rush' event is also rerunning until July 30, 2026, giving users more time to complete its challenges. These additions provide immediate content for players looking to customize their roster without grinding for new heroes.

The patch includes technical fixes for Jubilee's base abilities and various Team-Up abilities to improve visual performance. Developers corrected a targeting glitch that previously impacted Storm and Thor's 'Gods of Thunder' Team-Up ability. The update also resolved a bug in the 'Death of Apocalypse' mini-game and fixed an Xbox trophy desync issue. These changes aim to stabilize gameplay mechanics that had caused friction in competitive matches.

We looked at the last Marvel Rivals update while tracking these balance and stability themes earlier this month. The current patch confirms that NetEase is prioritizing cosmetic variety and bug fixes over major gameplay overhauls. The update is available globally on July 16 at 09:00 UTC, with a limited-time window closing on July 17 at 02:00 UTC for the Season 3 Battle Pass return.
