Rivals on Switch is getting a massive update today! We’re packing in improvements from 6 patches from over the last year into one mega-patch that brings all kinds of fun updates and upgrades to the game for our console players.
On top of this already great news, the game is also on sale on both Nintendo Switch and Steam for 50% off from 6/29/23 10AM PT – 7/13/23 10AM PT. It’s the perfect time to check it out on the eShop for yourself or share with a friend.
Patch Highlights
More Customization: You can now personalize premium skins! This applies to all alternate skins from the milestone system.
More Balance: Balance changes have been applied across the cast, especially for the 4 newest characters to help keep them fun and fair.
More Stage Variants: A bunch of stages now have fun visual changes during the last stock. New large variants of Crystal Oasis and Highdive Hideaway for doubles and 4-player modes have been added.
More Bugfixes: We broke out the flyswatter and fixed a swathe of gamebugs as well as Switch specific bugs reported by the community.

If you’d like to read the detailed patch notes for everything that went into this update, please refer to the articles below. Changes listed in these patches are all included in Switch update 2.1.5.5, with the exception of changes related to features not available on Switch such as Steam Workshop and rollback.

- Attempting to view replays from online matches using certain character/custom color combinations should no longer cause a crash.
- Custom colors should now show up properly for both players online.
