Will Marvel Rivals Be Available on Nintendo Switch 2?

Nintendo has sent waves of excitement to its fanbase with the announcement of Switch 2. While the second iteration of the console features a bunch of improvements over its predecessor, gamers and fans of the hero shooter genre from throughout the globe are eager to know—will Marvel Rivals be available on Switch 2?

Unfortunately, the developers have yet to confirm a Switch 2 port for Marvel Rivals. However, that doesn’t mean that you should lose hope just yet.

In a previous interview with IGN, NetEase has explored the possibility of Marvel Rivals arriving on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Is Marvel Rivals Coming To Switch 2?

Will Marvel Rivals Be Available on Nintendo Switch 2

Given the demand for hero shooters on portable systems, a Switch 2 version of Marvel Rivals could be a real possibility in the future.

In the IGN interview, Marvel Rivals producer Weicong Wu confirmed that the team has been actively working with Nintendo on development kits and they’re open to bringing the game to the console.

“And whenever we find that we could provide great performance for our game on Switch 2, we’re open to that,” Wei said. “The reason why we didn’t launch it onto the Switch, it was the first generation of that device they could not provide a great experience for our gameplay.”

For the uninitiated, the screen supports 1080p at up to 120 FPS in handheld mode, while docking unlocks 4K resolution at up to 60 FPS. With 256GB of built-in storage, the Switch 2 offers a significant upgrade over its predecessor.

With the highly anticipated Switch successor releasing on June 5th, console gamers will undoubtedly be looking forward to playing their favorite hero shooter on the new hardware.

How To Unlock the Hawkeye Ronin Skin in Marvel Rivals?

NetEase has recently announced a new skin coming to Marvel Rivals for Hawkeye, one of the most popular characters in the game, and fans of the hero shooter are eager to know how and when they can grab the skin.

The new Hawkeye Ronin skin in Marvel Rivals has been inspired by New Avengers (2004) #27, where Clint Barton appears as Ronin, delivering crucial fatherly wisdom to Kate.

In this guide, we will walk you through the steps you need to follow to unlock the new Hawkeye Ronin skin in Marvel Rivals.

How To Get the Hawkeye Ronin Skin in Marvel Rivals

The Hawkeye Ronin skin is set to be a Legendary skin that will be added to Marvel Rivals on April 3, 2025, at 7 pm PDT. It will be a part of the ‘Hawkeye – Ronin Bundle’ alongside an MVP animation, emote, nameplate, and spray.

With that being said, here’s how you can get the Hawkeye Ronin skin in Marvel Rivals:

  • Launch Marvel Rivals.
  • Go to the ‘Store’ tab.
  • Under the featured section, you should be able to see the Hawkeye Ronin bundle.
  • Click on it and purchase the skin.

You can also head over to the ‘Heroes’ tab from the main menu, find Hawkeye, and go to his ‘Cosmetics’ page to purchase the skin.

How To Unlock the Hawkeye Ronin Skin in Marvel Rivals

You can either choose to buy the Ronin skin individually or grab the entire bundle to get a hefty discount on your purchase.

Getting the costume individually will cost you a pocket pinch of 2000 units, while the bundle has a price tag of 2200 units.

If you’re unable to grab the bundle right away, don’t stress— it isn’t going anywhere. The Hawkeye Ronin skin isn’t a limited-edition skin, which means players are free to grab it at any point in the future. Take your time to save up your Units, and get the skin when you have enough of the premium currency in your account.

Fortnite X Adventure Time: Everything We Know

Fortnite is popular for its collaborations with well-known brands across the globe from a plethora of industries, and now it’s time for the popular show Adventure Time to get its characters into the game.

A well-known Fortnite leaker on X who goes by the handle Saltyyy has revealed that as part of the v31.30 update, the Fortnite x Adventure Time crossover is probably going to be released on April 8, 2025. If you are a fan of the show, then having your favorite characters in the game will truly amplify the experience for you.

All Fortnite x Adventure Time characters

While Adventure Time has quite a long list of characters, the developers have chosen to stick with the most popular ones to bring to the game, and they are:

  • Finn
  • Jake
  • Princess Bubblegum
  • Marceline

Goes without saying that skins aside, we will get a plethora of elements like emotes and pickaxes, and events to go along. While EPIC has yet to confirm the launch of this collaboration, promising evidence has surfaced showing that the wait will end on April 8, 2025.

Many brushed off the early rumours as an April Fool’s prank, but those doubts were quickly dispelled with popular data miner Saltyy revealed the update on April 2nd, thus reinforcing beliefs in the hearts of the fans.

CS2 Hits Record-High Concurrent Player Average in March 2025

CS2 Hits Record-High Concurrent Player Average in March 2025

While many believe Counter-Strike is losing popularity with the rise of competitive first-person shooters like Valorant, the statistics from March 2025 would have you believe otherwise. Without any significant update in the game or esports landscape, CS2 recorded its all-time concurrent player average on March 15, 2025.

CS2 was a disaster when it launched, but a series of updates has made the game acceptable, but the community still argues that CS:GO was much better and smoother. The minor visual improvements of CS2 don’t make up for the loss of performance. Despite so many complaints around the game, the player count has been on the rise, and in March 2025, it hit an all-time high.

March of 2025 saw a concurrent all-time high of “1,824,989” active players for our favorite first-person shooter. The rise in popularity of Premiere has largely contributed to this feat, but while many argue that the game is dying, fans of the game can now back their sentiments with proper statistics.

Reaching an all-time high is a significant achievement for the community and the developers, but with the persistent cheating problem, it will be difficult to maintain this growth. Long-term players have moved away to the likes of Faceit, ESEA, and Premiere mostly house the casual players, but if the cheating problem continues to grow, that day isn’t far when players quit the game out of frustration.

How to Get Smite Knife Gun Buddies in Valorant?

Riot Games has launched a unique chance for Valorant players to get two exclusive Smite Knife Gun Buddies for free without using any Valorant Points (VP). These gun buddies, which come in regular blue and a unique golden version, are simple to get if you qualify.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting these free collectibles.

How to Get the Standard Smite Knife Gun Buddy

Standard Smite Knife Gun Buddy

The default blue Smite Knife Gun Buddy is a free login reward for everyone. You can claim it by logging into Valorant between April 1 and April 14, 2025. Log in to the game within this timeframe, and Riot Games will automatically add the buddy to your inventory. No further actions, quests, or buying needed. You just have to log in and get your free prize!

How to Unlock the Gold Smite Knife Gun Buddy

Gold Smite Knife Gun Buddies in Valorant

The golden Smite Knife Gun Buddy has an additional prerequisite. You must have at least one of the Smite weapons, either the original package or the updated Smite 2.0 version, in your inventory to be eligible. If you already have a Smite weapon in your inventory, you will be given the golden gun buddy automatically. Make sure that you have the qualifying weapon before April 23, 2025, to be able to claim this special cosmetic.

The Smite series was initially released in September 2020 with a shocking blue lightning pattern. It gained instant popularity because of its unique appearance and affordable price. The series offers skins for the Classic, Judge, Phantom, Odin, and a melee weapon. Smite Knife, the melee weapon from this pack, originally retailed for 1,750 VP, whereas single weapons cost 875 VP each. The entire bundle is priced at 3,500 VP.

In 2025, Riot Games launched Smite 2.0, which included a redesigned look, a more realistic melee weapon, and new features. Ironically, there have been observations that Smite skins sometimes turn golden in-game, which has led to speculations about concealed effects.

To make sure that you don’t miss out on these free gun buddies, just follow these basic steps:

  • Play Valorant between April 1 and April 14, 2025: This ensures the standard blue Smite Knife Gun Buddy.
  • Have a Smite weapon in your collection before April 23, 2025: If you possess any Smite collection skin, you will also get the golden one.

After being eligible, the Smite Knife Gun Buddies should pop up in your collection automatically.

While the standard one looks cool, the gold buddy seems appealing. Do you already have a Smite skin, or are you thinking about getting one? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

With this change, the competitive map pool of Valorant in Episode 10 Act 3 will include the following maps:

  • Abyss
  • Icebox
  • Haven
  • Lotus
  • Pearl
  • Split
  • Sunset

Note that this map pool is only effective for Competitive and Deathmatch modes. Players queuing in the various other game modes in Valorant, including Unrated and Swiftplay, will be able to enjoy every map in the game as usual.

When Does Valorant Episode 10 Act 3 Go Live?

As mentioned earlier, the new competitive map rotation for Valorant will go live alongside the Episode 10 Act 3 update.

According to an official announcement, the Valorant Episode 10 Act 3 update will hit the live servers on April 29, 2025. Fans can expect a few hours of server downtime on patch day as the devs get ready to ship out the new update.

How to Upgrade Your Planter in Schedule 1 – Boost Yield & Growth Speed

In Schedule 1, upgrading your Planter is crucial for maximizing efficiency and keeping up with increasing customer demands. A basic setup won’t cut it as your operations expand—thankfully, the upgrade process is straightforward if you know where to look. Here’s how to boost your Planter’s performance.

Step 1: Unlock the Warehouse

Before upgrading, you must unlock the warehouse, accessible between 6 PM and 6 AM in-game. Inside, you’ll find Oscar, the vendor who sells all necessary upgrade components. Cash is the only accepted currency, but an ATM inside the warehouse makes withdrawals easy .

Step 2: Purchase Upgrade Components

(Image via TVGS)

Oscar offers three key items:

  • Upgraded Pot (Moisture-preserving or Air Pot) – Increases yield from 8 to 12 products per seed.
  • Suspension Rack – Holds your Grow Light.
  • Grow Light – Speeds up plant growth.

The Air Pot (costing $120) boosts growth speed by 15% but drains moisture 30% faster, requiring frequent watering .

Step 3: Set Up Your Upgraded Planter

  1. Attach the Grow Light to the Suspension Rack first.
  2. Install the Upgraded Pot—this is the core upgrade, directly increasing output.
  3. Ensure your setup includes a basic frame and lamp (if using an Air Pot) to avoid stunted growth .

  • Faster Growth: Reduced wait times between harvests.
  • Scalability: Essential for handling larger customer bases.
