About Marvel Rivals on PC

Marvel Rivals is built on Unreal Engine 5, and its default global illumination settings are far heavier than a competitive hero shooter needs. A team fight with several ultimates active is where the frame rate collapses, and that is exactly when you need it most.

Turning the Lumen-based lighting options down or off is worth more than every other setting combined, and the visual difference during a fast fight is close to imperceptible.

Covers live matches on the Unreal Engine 5 build. Team fights with multiple ultimates active are the reference workload.
