Marvel Rivals has launched today to great fanfare on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, though it would seem as though there’s absolutely no plans to bring the game to the Nintendo Switch family of systems. Marvel Rivals has been ruled out for a Switch port by the game’s director, Thaddeus Sasser, who said that there are no discussions surrounding bringing the game to Nintendo’s current platform. Presumably if the game takes off then it will hopefully make an appearance on the Switch’s successor.
“I express to Sasser that “given the game’s huge popularity already, has there been any talk of bringing a Marvel Rivals mobile or Switch version to players in the future?” While Sasser is exceptionally pleased to see the game’s positive reception with console players, he tells me that “there are no discussions [happening]” right now to make a handheld port.”

They could’ve at least asked if it could be released on the Switch 2. Missed opportunity.

Say what you want about the game but these designs of the Marvel characters are seriously fire imo.🔥
“… right now to make a handheld port.”
Ah, so he’s one of THOSE guys who insist the Switch is a handheld.
I’m surprised the game is f2p, looks like a full priced game.
It’s an amazing game so far. Hopefully they’ll reconsider for Switch 2!
