Marvel Rivals is the hottest hero shooter since Overwatch initially came out in 2016. Developer NetEase Games discovered a recipe for success by combining the exhilaration of a fast-paced shooter with the familiarity of the Marvel Universe. Like other hero shooters, Marvel Rivals requires players to collect various currencies to unlock cosmetics and other personalization features.

Fortunately, the game is generous when it comes to giving away free cosmetics and other in-game loot. Players who don’t want to miss the chance to get free skins or currencies will want to link their Marvel Rivals accounts to other platforms. The two leading platforms players can get rewarded through include Twitch and Discord. Here’s how players can link their Marvel Rivals accounts to their Twitch and Discord accounts.
