Marvel Rivals beta: UK end date and time confirmed
Ready to suit up?
All good things must come to an end, as they say, so we must turn our attention to when the UK end date and time is for the Marvel Rivals beta.
We've had a great run of it for sure, though, playing as one of the many great characters and using team-ups to killer effect with the action heightened by the Marvel Rivals voice cast.
The addition of Jeff the Land Shark and Thor was a welcome shake-up to the formula, with cool new abilities and the simple fact that Jeff the Land Shark is just about the cutest critter out there.
There still is time to get into the Marvel Rivals closed beta, and you can do so by getting access codes via Twitch Drops. Once it does end, though, all eyes will be looking to a full Marvel Rivals release date.
But time is not on our side here. Read on to see when the Marvel Rivals beta ends in the UK so that you can get as much playtime in as possible!
When does the Marvel Rivals beta start?
For players in the UK, the Marvel Rivals beta started at 11pm BST on Tuesday 23rd July 2024.
In terms of platforms, we know that this Marvel Rivals beta will be spread across PC (Steam), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
And yes, there will be cross-platform multiplayer (also known as cross-play) between all of those devices for the duration.
When does the Marvel Rivals beta end?
The Marvel Rivals beta will end at 8am BST for UK players on Monday 5th August.
Do you know what sounds like a good idea? Playing through the night, battling until the servers close, and then heading to work.
If you're wondering where you can take part, we've been told that the beta will be running in Europe, the USA and Asia.

Is there any difference between the Marvel Rivals platforms?
We've already mentioned that the beta will be available on PS5, PC and Xbox Series X/S.
Will there be exact parity between those platforms? Not quite, it turns out!
The game's official FAQ page states, "In light of the Xbox Series S (XSS) memory limitations, [the developers have] taken steps to safeguard the XSS user experience."
The statement adds: "We've temporarily disabled the Past Lives system, MVP animations and Highlights to prevent memory issues from disrupting gameplay.
"Our team is committed to ongoing optimisation of memory and graphics for the XSS, to make sure they are perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
"Rest assured, the official launch version will restore the Past Lives system, MVP animations and Highlights on the XSS, delivering the full, immersive experience for all."
And that's all you need to know to jump into Marvel Rivals this week and (hopefully) have a good time!
