With NetEase constantly adding new cosmetics to Marvel Rivals, players have more options than ever when choosing which skin to buy for their favorite character. At the same time, accidental purchases are becoming increasingly common, with many players mistakenly buying skins for heroes they don’t even play or getting an entire bundle instead of just one skin that they like.
In cases like these, it can be helpful to know if you can get refunds for skins in Marvel Rivals that you accidentally end up buying or just don’t wish to use.
Marvel Rivals Skin Refunds Explained
If you’ve ended up with a Marvel Rivals skin you don’t want and are hoping to get your Units back, you’re probably wondering whether these cosmetics can be refunded.
Unfortunately, Marvel Rivals does not provide refunds for skins that you’ve already purchased with Units. As a result, it’s impossible to get your Units back after you’ve already bought a cosmetic from the game store.
Additionally, players are not even able to test out skins in the practice range before getting them, which is why it’s always recommended to check out videos of a cosmetic that you’re intending to purchase before actually spending your Units.
If you ever find yourself in this unfortunate situation, your best bet would be to contact Marvel Rivals support and explain the issue. While refunds aren’t guaranteed, they’re the only ones who may be able to help in scenarios like these.
Note that some Marvel Rivals players report receiving refunds after accidental purchases, but this is extremely rare and not guaranteed.
Ultimately, Marvel Rivals doesn’t have an official cosmetic refund process, and support can only help in rare cases. Until the devs introduce a proper refund feature to the hero shooter, players are advised to review their purchases closely before committing their Units (or any other currency) to a particular skin.
Riot Games has confirmed that the fan-favorite Mystbloom bundle is returning to Valorant with a brand-new set of skins.

Marvel Rivals features a full-featured cross-progression system that allows players to link their accounts across every platform and share progress seamlessly. No matter if you’re playing on PlayStation, Xbox, PC-Steam, PC-Epic Games, or using the Loading Bay launcher, this walkthrough covers every step of the account linking process in detail.
Cross-progression for Marvel Rivals works across the Epic Games Store, Steam, Loading Bay, PlayStation, and Xbox. Once you link them together, you can log in through any one of these platforms and get access to your same character, including all your competitive rank, collections, and paid content.
How to Connect Marvel Rivals Accounts In-Game
The main way to link your Marvel Rivals accounts is through the in-game settings menu:
Open Marvel Rivals and from the main screen go to the Settings menu.
Select the Other tab under settings.
Scroll down to locate Account Linking – also known as “Account Binding” or “Account.”
Select the platform you wish to connect to, other than your current login platform.
A QR code will appear for console players, which you can scan to sign in with your platform credentials
Complete account verification, then wait for the binding to complete
How to Connect Marvel Rivals Accounts In-Game Through the Official Website
You can also link accounts via the Marvel Rivals website, which is especially helpful to connect external services like Twitch:
Choose your gaming platform: Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Epic Games, or NetEase
Enter your platform credentials to authenticate.
Once logged in, click your profile icon and select My Account.
Then go to Connections to manage linked platforms.
When you link two accounts together that both have characters, Marvel Rivals will have you designate a primary character. This is important, as this character becomes available across all linked accounts, retaining all progress, cosmetics, Units Currency, Lattice Currency, and Battle Pass progress. Characters that aren’t picked as a primary are stored but remain unavailable until you switch.
There are also various cooldowns and limitations to consider. Switching to your main character incurs a one-hour cooldown period. If an account is unlinked, there is a 180-day cooldown until that platform is able to be linked with other accounts security feature in place to prevent account trading. You can also only bind one PSN account at any given time due to PlayStation’s virtual asset transfer policy, though you are able to relink to your original PSN account after unlinking it.
If you’ve ever sworn you built that wall before the shotgun blast hit you, you know the pain of high latency in Fortnite. Flying blind without your network stats in a game where milliseconds make the difference between wins and losses is a rookie mistake.
Turning on your ping display, officially called “Net Debug Stats,” is the first step to diagnosing whether your internet is failing you or if you need to hit the aim trainer. This is how you can enable the overlay in Fortnite on PC, console, and mobile.
How to Show Ping in Fortnite
The setting is buried in the UI menus, not in the video settings that most players check. Follow these steps exactly to get the data overlay live:
Press Esc in-game to open the sidebar menu from either the Lobby or mid-match, or press Start/Options on console.
Click the gear icon to access the main settings menu.
Press the Tab key to go over three icons from the left. The icon to look for is a rectangle with UI elements inside.
Scroll down past the reticle settings until you locate the HUD Options header.
Look for Net Debug Stats and toggle it to ON.
Make sure to press Apply Triangle /Y/ A depending on your controller before you exit.
Once enabled, you will see a small text overlay near your minimap, usually top left or top right-displaying two critical metrics:
Ping (ms): The round-trip time of data traveling from your machine to the servers of Epic.
0-20ms: God tier. You are probably living inside the server room.
20-50ms: Standard competitive range. perfectly playable.
100ms+: You’re in the danger zone. Expect delayed builds and “ghost” shots.
Packet Loss (Down/Up): Represented in white or red lines. If this isn’t 0%, your connection is “dropping” information entirely. This causes what we refer to as “rubber-banding” (teleporting players) and is way worse than high ping.
While you’re in the settings, go to the Video tab-its icon is first-and switch Show FPS to ON. Pairing your frame rate with your ping gives you the full picture of your system’s health. High ping means it’s your internet; low FPS means it’s your hardware.

Berlin’s Freaks 4U Gaming has filed for insolvency after majority shareholder NODWIN Gaming pulled the plug on further funding, marking a dramatic collapse of what was supposed to be a transformative acquisition for India’s esports giant. The Charlottenburg District Court opened preliminary insolvency proceedings on November 21, appointing attorney Dr. Susanne Berner as administrator.
NODWIN Gaming Pulls Funding as Freaks 4U Gaming Files for Insolvency
NODWIN, a subsidiary of listed Indian gaming firm Nazara Technologies, confirmed it has fully written off its investment in the German esports marketing agency, citing the lack of a realistic turnaround despite years of financial support. The impairment hit hard. Nazara recorded a provision of ₹384 crore (roughly $45 million) on the Freaks 4U investment in its Q2 FY26 results, contributing to the company’s first-ever quarterly loss at the standalone level.
Back in June 2024, this looked like a winning play. NODWIN announced plans to increase its 13.51% stake in Freaks 4U to 100% through a share swap valued at €30.3 million. NODWIN sought the acquisition to gain a foothold in European markets and access Freaks 4U’s extensive production capabilities, including operations for Riot Games’ Prime League in the DACH region.
But the full deal never materialized. According to German business registry records, NODWIN held only 61.73% of Freaks 4U when insolvency proceedings began. Freaks 4U never met performance and integration milestones tied to later tranches as financial conditions deteriorated
Freaks 4U had already been struggling before NODWIN’s involvement. The company underwent major layoffs throughout 2024, discontinued legacy formats like Summoner’s Inn, and CEO Michael Haenisch publicly warned of an “esports winter” hitting European markets.
NODWIN will monitor the insolvency proceedings but made clear this marks the end of its European expansion experiment. The company is refocusing on emerging markets. India, MENA, and Southeast Asia, where it already has scale and owned IP. For Freaks 4U, the appointed administrator will now search for potential investors to salvage parts of the business.

Their rotations were clean, but in the final circles, Inner Circle Esports knocked out two OG players. In the last moment, a nade from Zyol eliminated Orangutan in fourth place. The team earned a total of nine points.
The chicken dinner ended in a one versus one between Top and the last Inner Circle player. Top went to finish a knocked player, but the Inner Circle player punished him and secured the chicken dinner with eighteen finishes. Alpha Gaming earned 15 points, and 9z Esports also played well, earning 18 points.
Match 2 – Erangel
The second match was played on Erangel, where Orangutan and defending champions Dplus KIA had an intense four-versus-four fight. Aaru got two brilliant knocks, and in the end, Wizzgod was in a one-versus-one against chpz. However, Alter Ego joined the fight and third-partied, which led to Wizz being eliminated. Orangutan could only take three points from this match.
In the same match, 9z Esports won a four versus three fight against Alter Ego in the end circle and secured the chicken dinner with eight finishes. Loop Esports also earned eleven points.
Match 3 – Erangel
In the third match, Aaru showed a great rotation. The team had a strong position, but a surviving Dplus KIA player eliminated both Attanki and Aaru, which spoiled the game for Orangutan. In the end, the team finished in fourth place with six finishes. Alpha Gaming, filled with star players, finally took the win with fifteen finishes. Wolves secured thirteen points, and Dplus KIA followed with eight points.
Match 4 – Erangel
The fourth match was once again played on Erangel, where Orangutan got eliminated early with zero points. Wizzgod and Attanki were taken out by Alter Ego during rotation, and Alpha Gaming finished the remaining two players.
In the final result, Alpha Gaming took another back-to-back chicken dinner. They earned twenty-four points and showed why they were already considered one of the biggest trophy contenders. Team Falcons also earned twelve points.
Match 5 – Miramar
The fifth match took place at Miramar, where Orangutan had a very strong position inside the zone. But Loops from Brazil pushed them, and once again the same problem appeared. Orangutan failed to win an important four-versus-four fight. They lost the fight and could not use their strong position. Team GOAT won the chicken dinner with twelve finishes, while Dplus KIA and SuperMassive also got double-digit points.
Match 6 – Miramar
The last match of the day was also on Miramar, where Orangutan again lost a four-versus-four fight. They were holding their location when SuperMassive pushed them.

In this match, Gen G Esports secured the chicken dinner with twenty points. Both Alpha Gaming and Inner Circle earned fifteen points each.
