Marvel Rivals skins are cosmetic items that change how characters look in the game but don't affect how the characters play. They let you customize their favorite heroes and villains, creating a unique character overall. The designs of these skins draw from different Marvel comics, movies, and other sources. Collecting these skins can be a big part of the gaming experience, motivating you to participate more in the game's community.

Some skins can be earned by completing challenges or achieving certain goals in the game, giving you a sense of progress. Others are available only during limited-time events, making them feel special and exclusive. There are also skins that may only be accessible on specific platforms or through promotions, encouraging you to stay engaged with a particular system. It's kind of like Fortnite, where you can get a say in how your character looks and feels.

To get all the free Marvel Rivals skins, you need to take a few different steps. This includes earning achievements in the game, using codes, taking part in special promotions on certain platforms, and engaging with Twitch streams. The skins given out during Twitch drop events, where watching certain streamers could earn you cosmetics, shouldn't last long, so be sure to get those as soon as you can.

Some skins can be unlocked permanently by completing achievements in the Heroic Journey section of your profile. For example, you can get Storm's Ivory Breeze skin by earning 200 achievement points, while Star-Lord's Jovial Star skin requires 400 points. You earn these points by finishing various in-game challenges. However, if you don't have a PlayStation 5, you miss out on other free skins, like the Peni Parker VEN#M skin. However, other skins may be exclusive to other platforms in the future, so keep that in mind.

What is the best team-up ability in Marvel Rivals?

One of my favorite aspects of Marvel Rivals comes from the multiple team-up abilities the game offers. It adds to the whole aspect of playing as Marvel characters and teaming up with friends for cool boosts. My favorite Rivals team-up ability is currently Gamma Charge. As soon as I see a Hulk on my team, I rush to pick Iron Man and benefit from the gamma bonus to my damage. Iron Man can then break enemy lines with relative ease.

Some skins were also exclusive rewards fo participating in Closed Alpha and Beta tests, which are no longer available. More events will likely come in the future, so be sure to participate in those events when they happen. If you miss out on an event, you'll likely not get another chance to get the skin unless it gets sold digitally.

Free Marvel Rivals Skins That Have Expired

All Expired Marvel Rivals Skins

Some free skins for Marvel Rivals that were once available can no longer be obtained. These limited-time rewards were usually linked to specific events, promotions, Twitch Drops, expired codes, or early access phases of the game. Because they’re no longer available, they’ve become exclusive items that many players want to have.

For example, the Scarlet Witch's "Moonlit Witch" skin was given only to players who participated in the Closed Alpha testing period. Similarly, the Venom "Cyan Clash" skin was a reward for those participating in the Closed Beta testing phase. These early access skins were a way to thank players for giving while the game was being developed. Now, only those who were part of the testing have these skins.

Marvel Rivals Solo Ranked matches have become a point of contention as some players struggle to adapt styles that thrive when playing with others

Another category of expired skins includes those offered during temporary in-game events or seasonal celebrations. For instance, getting the Jeff the Land Shark "Cuddly Fuzzlefin" skin is important because it will only be available during a Winter Celebration event. Certain skins tied to Twitch drop campaigns can only be earned by watching streams for a set period. These promotional items created a sense of urgency and rewarded players who engaged early, but they can’t be obtained now through the original means.

Holidays are normally the best times to look for free skins.

The more positive way to look at it is if you participate in events and free giveaways, you will get skins that will only become rarer over time. This is like Fortnite, whose rarest skins normally came out before the game became incredibly popular. So, these expired skins show you were part of an important time in the history of Marvel Rivals. In other words, you are basically the equivalent of an OG.
