Marvel Rivals Introduces Battle Pass Points Conversion to In-Game Currency

In the recent developer video, NetEase revealed gameplay for The Human Torch and The Thing, and they additionally unveiled a fresh addition – the ability to convert Battle Pass Points directly into free in-game money.

This action taken by NetEase stands out, considering the history of their previous games, which were often criticized for including microtransactions and pay-to-win elements. It seems almost as if Marvel Rivals is generating such high profits that they can now focus on providing a positive experience for players – and that’s definitely a good thing!

At the close of each season, Battle Pass Tokens (also known as Chrono Tokens) will transform into an in-game currency called Units. But unlike a direct 1:1 exchange which could cause economic difficulties for our developers, we’ll have a flexible conversion range. The specifics of this range have been hinted at by trusted Marvel Rivals insider X0X_Leaks.

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that NetEase has listened to our feedback and made a change due to concerns about unused Chrono Tokens at the end of each season. These tokens were valuable for acquiring skins and other Battle Pass rewards, but once we had collected everything, any leftover tokens would become worthless. Now, it seems they’ve decided to address this issue!

Reflecting on my gaming journey, I managed to gather an additional 3,000 Chrono Tokens throughout Season 0, but alas, they were swept away with the arrival of Season 1.

As a dedicated player, I can confidently say that this update promises an exciting boost: players will have a clear incentive to accumulate Chrono Tokens, as they can exchange them forUnits in upcoming seasons. TheseUnits function as the game’s secondary currency, providing access to exclusive skins from the in-game shop when they are up for grabs. What’s even more intriguing is that Lattice, our premium currency, can be traded forUnits, giving players a chance to unlock an even broader selection of skins!

NetEase’s unanticipated strategy for earning revenue from consumers has caught many off guard, given the recent corporate reorganization and job cuts at their Seattle branch.

It seems that once more, NetEase is attempting to win players’ favor through their actions. Their previous gesture towards the community was rescinding the disliked Mid-Season Rank Reset, a decision made promptly following the broad opposition expressed by many players.
