PlayStation has just unveiled this incredible offer for Marvel Rivals players: any PS Plus subscribers can download a FREE Season 2 Bundle straight from the PlayStation Store right now. And so there is no need to purchase anything; just log in, claim it, and boom-extra goodies to play. Naturally, the internet had some thoughts on the matter and the replies were… shall we say, chaotic?
So let’s dissect this: This bundle is meant for PS Plus members only, leaving the poor souls on Xbox and PC to freeze. That surely did not sit well with part of the community. “@brinas15minutes,” one user says it’s “mindboggling” that PlayStation keeps getting all these free skins without anything for the other platforms.
Meanwhile, @DetrainAlexis seemed to be on Twitter screaming about the absence of cross-save: “Why is there still no cross save?? I started on Xbox because I didn’t have PlayStation yet 😭😭😭.” Mood, honestly.
Then, those are the people who had already purchased the skins in the bundle. “I paid money for that skin man 💔,” says @StaunchTav, throwing in a broken-heart emoji. “This was the first skin I bought bro are you serious?” said a defeated @Aack_its_alex. Ouch! Imagine grinding or dropping cash for something, and next minute, it becomes free. That’s just the gaming industry for you in 2024!
Not everyone was salty, though. @weirdminkthing said, “Lmao, it was the first one that got me to play, and now they are giving more; good shit.” Free stuff is free stuff, right? @NonBinaryComic, not-so-online, was left regretting using their costume token on it: “Kinda lame ngl.” Can’t satisfy everyone, I guess.
And that was where the other drama began-console wars, baby. @crystalsteed92 threw shade: “Sony loves paying under the table for PlayStation fans to get extra benefits.” Meanwhile, @TLaughingmatter told somebody to “stop with the gaystation glaze,” which is… a phrase, alright. Then @Super_Sailor_V dragged the console players into the PC vs console debate: “This is why ppl don’t want PC/console crossover for comp.” Yikes.
And Squirrel Girl stans were in full effect. “Squirrel Girl is love. Squirrel Girl is life,” proclaimed @ELV1SPELV1S, paired with an hype GIF. As for @yeah_sleepy? “I’m never planning on using her.” Cold.
What do you say about it? This sweet little gift for PlayStation players equals anguish for everyone else while the internet detonates into chaos. Just another day in gaming, huh? If you have PS Plus, quickly claim that bundle before it goes away, probably with one little bit of advice: avoid gloating to your Xbox buddies. Unless it’s too hard, that is.
Additionally, a kind proposal to the Marvel Rivals developers: how about spreading some surprise love across the other platforms?
