Marvel Rivals, in the end, has just made a fabulous Black Friday sale that is first of its kind and, at the same time, players are reacting to the stacking discount system enthusiastically. The sale will run from November 28, 2025, 2:00 AM UTC to December 2. Its starting point consists of a 20% discount on all items that qualify from Seasons 3 and earlier. But this is not the end of the story—every purchase will bring a coupon, and each coupon will represent an even greater discount than the one before. The developers have explained it as “stacking those savings like Infinity Stones,” which creates excitement for some people and confusion for others.
Potentially, what could the players get? Just the items available are the ones that include all the cosmetics and content of Season 3 and up to the previous ones. However, it is the players who will ask the most about the particular skins in a flood of replies. One user was asking about the Zombie Strange skin while another was hinting that, “PUT THE WINTER MAGIC AND WINTER RACOON IN THE SHOP AND ILL DO IT.” The longing is quite evident, folks. And it is the same for us, in fact.
Marvel Rivals has somewhat won over the community with its choice as no negative commentaries are there, only likes of “We honestly don’t deserve you,” and “Netease the goat my goodness!” The comment flow is very heavy. It is clear that Marvel Rivals is making its gamers in the player base really happy. On the other hand, some users are not satisfied and are asking for a detailed list of items eligible for admission that, to be honest, would be quite helpful. The tweet, however, only states “all Season 3 and earlier items that are available to purchase,” which is really not very specific, is it? I mean, what does having “available” even mean in this context? Are certain items not on display? The curiosity continues.
But then there is the entire coupon stacking system. A user wondered aloud whether the larger discounts from first purchases would be applied only to older items or the whole process of selling at the lowest price all the time would strictly be for Season 3 and earlier content. That is a very smart question that no one seems to have an answer to just yet. Looking at the way it is worded, it appears that the more eligible items you buy, the better coupons you will get, but whether those coupons can eventually be used on new stuff… well, who knows? The devs are being vague about it.
Meanwhile, the Infinity Stones analogy has been the reason for the fun guessing game between players. One person wrote, “Wait, Infinity Stones…? Could that probably mean…?” implying there is some alienation of Marvel universe. Most likely not, but it is nice to work it that way. Who knows, maybe if you collect all of the discounts you might just wave your hand and receive everything for free. A gamer can always wish.
To some extent the situation can be called humorous since numerous players remark, “everything is happening on the 28th lol.” Indeed, this is the case where Black Friday is always a frenzy but the combination of that with a video game discount? That’s craziness albeit a new level of holiday shopping chaos.
There are already players who have their purchases ready. “Zombie Strange here I come!” was a user’s exclamation, another post mentioned they needed “Rocket’s Season 0 Christmas outfit ASAP.” The enthusiasm for past seasonal content is truly there, particularly since the sale exclusively includes previous seasons. This has caused some to speculate that limited-time skins from past events could come back again, while others are doubtful. A discussion thread was almost about to set ablaze regarding summer skins with one saying “they would do it for the next summer” instead.
Moreover, there is even some random drama going on in the replies seemingly unconnected with the sale—someone apparently has “child bearing hips”? No, I don’t get it either. The internet can be a strange place. Nonetheless, the majority of the chatter revolves around the sale and how big it is. “I love giving you all my money ngl,” one user admitted, and it is… a mood.
The couponing system is new and very beneficial since it encourages customers to place multiple orders. There is not just the incentive of a one-time discount, but at the same time, a return incentive which can be said to be very smart from the business point of view. The players seem to be lining up behind it—”Coupon stacking like Thanos,” one user succinctly put it. It is exciting, it is fun, and it is even more if you are the person who gets the best deal the more you are active.
Of course, there are always a few critics. Someone joked that they “should have had a sale on lattice” but that doesn’t really make sense here. Maybe they meant something else.
Looking ahead, Season 5 is already generating buzz with its student perks, but for now, everyone’s focused on this Black Friday event.
It’s worth noting that many of these dedicated players are on PlayStation and other platforms, showing how widespread the excitement really is.
