Marvel Rivals is just a few weeks away from celebrating its first birthday! The hero shooter was released on December 6, 2024, and has gained a massive following since then. While the player count is not as high as it was in early 2025, the game is still doing great and has a bright future. Its first birthday will be glorious, as NetEase has prepared many valuable rewards.
For the first time, you will be able to earn 2500 Units for free for the event. On top of this, the Marvel Rivals developer will release a free skin for Jeff the Land Shark, one of the fan-favorite characters.
How to get free 2500 Units in Marvel Rivals?
The Marvel Rivals Anniversary event will begin on Thursday, November 27. Considering that the game’s actual birthday is on December 6, and that Season 5.5 is set to come out in mid-December, we expect it to be active for at least two weeks. During this event, you will be able to earn 2500 Units by simply completing limited-time quests.
In addition to the premium currency, you’ll also be able to unlock Jeff the Business Shark, a new costume for the adorable Strategist. NetEase hasn’t revealed how to obtain the skin yet, but we expect it to be available through the questline as well.

The best part about this event is that anyone can get 2500 Units for free! In the past, NetEase held some contests, rewarding winners with large amounts of Units. However, the situation is different this time, as there is no limit on how many players can earn the premium currency.
The next three weeks will be very exciting in Marvel Rivals, as we are also very close to the release of Rogue, one of the most anticipated characters!
