Deleting Marvel Rivals Account and the Requirements
Have you been facing any specific challenges with your account that are making you think about deletion? Maybe you no longer want to play the game and want to clean up your digital footprint? Or maybe you want to start fresh with a new account? All of these are good reasons behind the decision to delete your account.
However, keep in mind that when you delete your Marvel Rivals account, it will be permanent. Meaning, you will lose all progress, purchased items, and in-game achievements. So make sure to think about these consequences too. If you still want to continue the deleting process, then there are some specific requirements you must meet before you can delete your account:
- You must be the original owner of the account.
- Your account must not have security risks or flags.
- You must not be involved in any ongoing disputes.
- You need to cancel all subscription services tied to your account.
How to Delete Marvel Rivals Account
Here is the complete step-by-step guide on how to delete your Marvel Rivals account:
- Open Marvel Rivals and look for the Settings icon in the top right corner of the screen.
- Navigate to the Other tab in the Settings menu.
- Scroll down until you see the Account Deletion option.
- Click the Go button to continue the deletion process.
After clicking on the Account Deletion, you will see a page load with a QR code and a warning message. The warning will remind you that you are beginning the process of deleting your Marvel Rivals account. Take out your phone and scan the QR code. Once you scan the QR code:
- A confirmation page will open on your phone. It will list the conditions you need to meet (listed above).
- Check the box to confirm you meet all the listed requirements.
- Tap the Next button to proceed.
After that, you will receive a confirmation that your account is being deleted.
What Happens After You Delete Your Marvel Rivals Account
Once you have successfully requested the deletion of your account:
- Your account information will be scheduled for removal from Marvel Rivals’ servers.
- You will no longer be able to access your account, characters, or purchased items.
- Any linked social media accounts will be disconnected from Marvel Rivals.
- Your in-game progress and achievements will be permanently lost.
There are also some important things that you need to know about the waiting period after you request an account deletion. If you request to delete your Marvel Rivals account, there’s a waiting period that usually lasts around 8–10 days. During this time, don’t log in. Doing so might cancel the deletion request.
After about 8 days (though the timing can vary), you’ll get an email asking to confirm the deletion. Once you confirm, your account will move into the final deletion stage, which may take a few more days to finish. For now, there’s no official information on how long the waiting period lasts, but this is based on what players have experienced so far.
Alternative: How to Change Your Name in Marvel Rivals
If you’re not ready to delete your account completely but want a fresh identity, you can simply change your name in Marvel Rivals. Here’s how:
- You’ll need 500 Units to purchase a Rename Card from the in-game store.
- Name changes are limited to once every 7 days.
- Each Rename Card is single-use.
- Your new name must be unique in the game.
Will you be able to recover your account after requesting deletion? No, once the deletion is fully processed, recovery is not possible. However, you can always create a new Marvel Rivals account after deleting your old one, but you will be starting completely fresh.
