Marvel Rivals July 16 Patch Notes: Van Dyne Couture

Build 20260716 landed at 09:00:00 UTC on July 16, 2026, and true to NetEase's habit of avoiding downtime, the servers stayed up while the entire store got rearranged around you. This Marvel Rivals patch notes drop is not a balance pass. It is a shopping mall opening, a nostalgia rerun, and three bug fixes wearing a trench coat labeled "content update."

New Skins and Store Additions

Jeff the Dinosaur gets his own Devil Dinosaur costume through a Pop and Win draw running July 17 to August 14, 2026. Hawkeye picks up the Bed-Stuy's Best Bundle. Gambit joins the Dead Man's Hand collection. None of this affects gameplay. All of it affects your wallet.

Van Dyne Couture: The New Runway Event

The Marvel Rivals Van Dyne Couture event is a fashion-themed pass running July 16 to August 13, 2026. Complete the missions and Magneto's Magnetic Vintage costume is yours for free. Upgrade to premium and you also unlock Adam Warlock's Tailored Perfection and Invisible Woman's Baxter Building Beauty, plus a signature nameplate for people who need their profile to match their outfit.

The free track exists to make the premium track look generous by comparison. Enjoy Magneto's free costume. Notice that everything better costs money.

This runs during Marvel Rivals Season 9, the Mystery of Thebes cycle, one week after Jubilee's launch and one week before the Thebes map arrives on July 24. The timing gives you exactly enough breathing room to recover before the next release schedule hits.

Battle Pass Rerun and Chrono-Rush

The Marvel Rivals Battle Pass rerun brings back Season 3's Power of the Phoenix from July 16 to July 30, 2026 at the Battle Pass Nexus. If you missed it the first time, this is the second and presumably final chance, because NetEase does not run these forever out of charity.

Alongside it, Marvel Rivals Chrono-Rush reopens this weekend and stays live until the season ends. It removes the cap on Chrono Tokens earned per match, which is the only mechanic in this patch that actually rewards playing the game instead of paying for it.

The Practice Range finally respects your settings. Turning off target movement used to still spawn moving bots, and that bug is now dead. The bigger fix targets the Marvel Rivals Storm aim bug: the camera animation on the Gods of Thunder Team-Up between Storm and Thor was quietly throwing off targeting, and competitive Storm players can stop blaming their mouse.

All of Jubilee's base abilities got a visual cleanup, since Marvel Rivals Jubilee just launched this season and her effects were apparently too chaotic even for a hero shooter built on chaos. NetEase also polished a long list of Marvel Rivals Team-Up abilities to reduce visual clutter across all three roles.

NetEase admits the full list of optimized Team-Up VFX is longer than what got published, so treat this table as the highlights reel, not the whole show.

System and Console Fixes

The Death of Apocalypse mini-game had a batch of minor bugs swept out, so uncovering En Sabah Nur's demise now runs without interruption. Xbox players get their trophy overview desync fixed, meaning gamerscore now updates correctly after unlocking an achievement instead of lying to you about your own progress.

This Marvel Rivals July 2026 update is a maintenance patch with a storefront attached. The Storm fix matters for ranked play. Everything else is cosmetics, reruns, and a token farm. Spend accordingly.
