Marvel Rivals Season 7, titled “The Hunt Is On,” has gone launched, and it brings the expected pile of new content along with a meaningful technical upgrade for NVIDIA GPU owners. White Fox joins the roster as a Strategist hero, and the new Lower Manhattan convergence map launched alongside the season update yesterday with a patch. For players pushing into competitive play, the DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution override is now active in the game via the NVIDIA App.
The Lower Manhattan map comes packed with references to Spider-Man villain locations, which Destructoid has been mining for clues about which antagonists might eventually make it onto the roster. There’s still plenty of lower Manhattan Marvel denizens that have not yet joined the character line up.
On the more verifiable side, the DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution support added means RTX 20 series and newer owners can enable it through the NVIDIA App’s DLSS override, which uses NVIDIA’s second-generation transformer AI upscaling model to improve image quality at all resolution targets. Given that Marvel Rivals can be demanding at higher visual settings, this is a welcome addition for players running mid-range cards who want to push frame rates above 144 FPS.
Marvel Rivals has had a surprisingly strong run since launch, maintaining a large concurrent playerbase through consistent seasonal updates. White Fox is a Korean Marvel character, a mutant agent who shares some thematic overlap with Black Cat and Taskmaster, and her Strategist classification suggests she brings team utility rather than raw damage.
From a pure PC hardware angle, Marvel Rivals is one of the few live service games that has consistently adopted NVIDIA and AMD upscaling features quickly, and the DLSS 4.5 integration puts it ahead of most multiplayer titles in that regard. If you have been sitting on an RTX card and have not enabled DLSS overrides in the NVIDIA App, Season 7 launch day is a reasonable excuse to check the settings and see what the second-gen transformer model does for your frame rate.
