The upcoming free-to-play superhero PVP shooter, Marvel Rivals, has generated significant buzz among fans. While Marvel has gradually revealed playable characters, Twitch drops, and gameplay snippets, the game’s monetization, particularly the Battle Pass, remains a hot topic. A recent streaming mishap, however, has leaked details about the Season 0 Battle Pass, offering a glimpse into the game’s paid content and sparking speculation among eager players.
Marvel Rivals developers have assured players that paid content will focus on cosmetic items and “goodies” without impacting gameplay balance. Initially, the focus has been on exciting players with the free-to-play aspects, with details on monetization remaining scarce. The leak, however, provides valuable insights into the upcoming Battle Pass system.
A streamer with early access inadvertently revealed the first page of the Season 0 Battle Pass, showcasing unlockable items and a purple in-game currency. Players speculate that these purple tokens, potentially called “Season Pass tokens” based on a PlayStation Blog post, will be used to acquire cosmetics, items, and other in-game features.

The leak reveals potential Black Panther and Punisher skins, nameplates, animations, and a seven-page Battle Pass reward track. Item costs within the Battle Pass appear to range from 200 to 400 purple tokens for higher-tier rewards.
Currently, confirmed methods of obtaining these tokens include the PlayStation Plus bonus package (which also includes exclusive skins) and purchasing the monthly Battle Pass subscription. It is anticipated that additional methods of acquiring tokens, such as in-game activities or bundled purchases, will be available, aligning with common free-to-play live service models.
While the leaked images offer a sneak peek at the Season 0 Battle Pass, many questions remain unanswered. Players are eager to learn the Battle Pass price, the amount of included in-game currency, and the extent to which desirable items and skins will be locked behind paywalls. As the Marvel Rivals release draws nearer, the anticipation surrounding the Battle Pass and its contents continues to grow.
