Marvel Rivals will distribute additional 5,000 Alpha keys through 200 content creators. Here’s how you can try getting one for yourself.

Upcoming team-based hero shooter Marvel Rivals will distribute additional 5,000 Alpha keys via 200 content creators from May 10 to 19, Marvel and NetEase Games announced on May 9.

It's currently unclear how many Marvel Rivals codes each content creator will earn to distribute as they'll gain them based on three different milestones: watch hour, average viewers, and stream duration.

Here's how Marvel and NetEase games will distribute these content creator Alpha keys and how you can try getting one for yourself.

How many Marvel Rivals keys can a content creator get to distribute to viewers?

The event will kick off on May 10 and each of the 200 content creators from Twitch and/or YouTube will gain more Marvel Rivals Alpha keys based on the metrics below.

Milestone challenges
Key amount
Watch hour ≥100 or average viewers ≥200

10 keys
Stream duration ≥ 12 hours

Instead of getting the keys via Twitch or YouTube drops, you'll have to keep an eye on Marvel Rivals' Discord channel. This is because community managers will dispatch them to "content creator's live rooms" on Discord.

Although the chance of securing a key is slim, all you have to do is be on Discord when it drops and activate it fast enough. These 5,000 keys distributed through content creators are additional keys on top of the 30,000 Alpha keys that NetEase Games and Marvel will send to players' emails.

That's all for now. However, stay tuned to esports.gg for more gaming news.
