Marvel Rivals Coming on PS4: File Size and FPS Detail Out

Marvel Rivals, the hero shooter made by NetEase Games with Marvel Games, is going to be released on PlayStation 4 on September 12, 2025. Till now, the title was looking more on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, but now the studio wants that also players with older systems to also join the fight. Bringing the game to PS4 shows how they want more people to enter the multiverse combat.

Even if the PS4 version does not look exactly like the new console one, the game was worked to run smoothly enough so matches don’t break with frame drops. The team prepared some details for Marvel Rivals storage, performance, and what it means for PS4 users.

Marvel Rivals PS4 Performance

Below, you will find everything you need to know about Marvel Rivals PS4 performance.

Space needed for installation

To install Marvel Rivals on PS4, players will need about 40 GB of free space. This is smaller if we compare with 46 GB on PS5 or the even heavier 70 GB on PC. This smaller size happened because the PS4 version was cut and adjusted for old hardware. The textures and graphic assets are not so large, but still, all content stays included. There, however, isn't an exact number on the Marvel Rivals PS4 file size.

For players who use the original 500 GB PS4 model, this space can feel a lot, especially if many old titles are already sitting on the hard drive. It may be time to remove games you don’t open anymore. The 40 GB number is not huge, but for last-gen storage, it is something to think about before release day.

Different play on standard PS4 and PS4 Pro

Marvel Rivals Performance will not be the same for every PS4. Developers confirm different settings for the basic PS4 and the Pro model.

• Standard PS4: The game targets 1080p resolution, and the Marvel Rivals PS4 Frame rate is a locked 30 FPS. It is not going to look super smooth, but the idea is that it stays stable. No big frame crash when the battle gets busy.
• PS4 Pro: Here it gets a strong upgrade. It reaches 1440p resolution and 60 FPS. The faster frame rate makes the play cleaner, especially when dodging attacks or making an accurate ultimate.

The role of FPS in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals is not a slow adventure story. It is a competitive shooting with heroes where team fights are fast, abilities are big, and reaction time is short.

On 30 FPS, the game is working fine, but players may feel a bit behind when the screen is full of action. Movement and aiming do not feel as natural.

On 60 FPS, it changes a lot. Characters respond quicker, skill shots line up more correctly. Marvel Rivals on PS4 shows the team trying to include more players while keeping the game playable. They choose to adapt the version for old consoles instead of forcing the same visuals as PS5, so performance stays consistent.

Comparison with other systems

To understand where the PS4 version stands, it helps to see how the game runs in other places.

• PS5: Here it aims for 4K and 60 FPS, plus faster load from SSD and extra graphic detail.
• Xbox Series X/S: Near the same, dynamic resolution and smooth 60 FPS.
• PC: The most flexible, can go above console if hardware is strong, but also needs 70 GB space, which is bigger than both PlayStation versions.

Meaning of this launch for the PS4 audience

When September 12 arrives, PS4 users will also be able to step into the Marvel Rivals universe. The Pro model clearly looks sharper, but even the regular PS4 lets you join battles with the same heroes, map, and game modes. With the focus on speed and competition, many players may later wish to move on to PS5 or PC for more fluid play. Still, at launch, the PS4 version means no one needs to stay out of the community.

Last thoughts

Bringing Marvel Rivals onto PS4 shows that the developer wants more players to join without forcing everyone to move new console. With an install size of around 40 GB, locked at 30 FPS for base PS4 and 60 FPS for Pro, the game is shaped for old systems but still keeps the full play content. This gives a choice for players who have not yet upgraded but still want the same battles. It also proves the studio focuses more on community reach than only graphic power.
