For fans eagerly awaiting the launch of Marvel Rivals, the excitement isn’t just about the heroic battles; it’s also about unlocking exclusive in-game rewards. By linking your Marvel Rivals account to Twitch, you can earn coveted skins, sprays, and other cosmetics simply by watching eligible streams.
The good news? The process is refreshingly straightforward and works seamlessly across all major gaming platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to connecting your accounts and diving into the world of Twitch Drops:
Step-by-Step Guide to Linking Your Accounts
1. Head to the Official Marvel Rivals Website:
Your journey begins at the source. Open your web browser and navigate to the official Marvel Rivals website: www.marvelrivals.com.
2. Log In to Your Marvel Rivals Account:
Once on the website, look for the “Log In” button, typically found in the top right corner of the page. You’ll then be prompted to choose your gaming platform. Select the platform you primarily play Marvel Rivals on—be it Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, Epic Games Store, or NetEase Games—and sign in using your respective credentials.
3. Access Your Account Settings:
After successfully logging in, click on your profile icon, usually located in the top right corner of the screen. A dropdown menu will appear; select “My Account” from this list.
4. Navigate to the Connections Tab:
Within your account dashboard, you’ll see a series of tabs on the left side of the screen. Look for and click on the “Connections” or “Link Accounts” tab. This section is dedicated to managing all your external service links.
5. Connect to Twitch:
In the list of available connections, you’ll find Twitch. Click the “Connect” or “Bind” button next to it. A new pop-up window will appear, prompting you to authorize Marvel Rivals to access certain aspects of your Twitch account. If you’re not already logged into Twitch, you’ll be asked to do so. Once logged in, review the permissions and click “Authorize” to proceed.
6. Confirm the Connection:
Upon successful authorization, you’ll see a confirmation message indicating that your Twitch account is now officially linked to your Marvel Rivals account. This signals that the connection has been established.
7. Verify the Connection (Optional, but Recommended):
For an extra layer of assurance, you can independently verify the connection. Head over to your Twitch settings and look for the “Other Connections” section. You should see Marvel Rivals listed there as a linked game, confirming the bond between your accounts.
Earning and Claiming Twitch Drops: Your Reward Pipeline
With your accounts linked, you’re now ready to start earning those coveted Twitch Drops:
- Watch Eligible Streams: Keep an eye out for Marvel Rivals streams on Twitch that have the “Drops Enabled” tag. These are the channels that will contribute to your drop progress.
- Track Your Progress: You can monitor your progress towards earning specific drops by visiting your Twitch Drops Inventory. This will show you how close you are to unlocking each reward.
- Claim Your Rewards: Once you’ve fulfilled the watch time requirements for a drop, you’ll need to manually “claim” it from your Twitch Drops Inventory. After claiming, the rewards will be delivered to your in-game mailbox in Marvel Rivals. It’s important to note that while the process is usually quick, rewards may take up to 30 days to appear in your game.
Troubleshooting Tips: When Things Go Awry
While the process is generally smooth, you might encounter a hiccup or two. Here are some quick troubleshooting tips:
- Disconnect and Reconnect: If you’re experiencing issues, try disconnecting your Twitch account from Marvel Rivals and then re-establishing the connection. Be aware that there’s often a 7-day cooldown period between unlinking and relinking accounts.
- Correct Account: Ensure you are logged into the correct Twitch account that you wish to link before starting the process.
- Single Channel Rule: Only one Twitch channel watched at a time will count towards earning drops. Watching multiple eligible streams simultaneously will not accelerate your progress.
The Bottom Line
Connecting your Marvel Rivals account to Twitch is a swift and simple process that unlocks a world of exclusive rewards for engaging with the game’s streaming community. By following these steps, you can ensure you don’t miss out on limited-time cosmetics and valuable in-game items, enhancing your Marvel Rivals experience from day one. Get ready to watch, earn, and dominate with style!
