How to Win Free Marvel Rivals Skins in the Galacta’s Gift Event
Marvel Rivals is gearing up for a major celebration with the launch of its Galacta’s Gift event, commemorating the one-year anniversary of the game’s Closed Alpha Test. NetEase Games is using the occasion to thank the community with free in-game rewards, including a rare chance to earn skins for free—no purchases required.
Here’s a full breakdown of what to expect and how you can take part in the action starting May 15, 2025.
When Does the Galacta’s Gift Event Start?
The Galacta’s Gift event officially begins with the May 15 update. While the end date hasn’t been confirmed yet, the returning Season 0 Battle Pass—which launches at the same time—will be available until May 29, 2025, at 2:00 AM PDT. Based on this, it’s likely the Galacta’s Gift event will follow a similar two-week timeline.
How to Earn Free Skins and Rewards
Participating in the Galacta’s Gift event is simple: just play the game. Players will earn a variety of items as they progress, including:
- Nameplates
- Sprays
- Chrono Shield Cards
- Costume Coin (the highlight of the event)
The Costume Coin is especially valuable, as it allows you to claim one of the 33 original costumes that launched with Marvel Rivals back in December 2024. Keep in mind: this coin only unlocks the costume, not the complete bundle (which would typically include an emote, nameplate, spray, and MVP screen). Still, it’s a great way to get a premium look at no cost.
Season 0 Battle Pass Returns
Alongside the Galacta’s Gift event, the Season 0 Battle Pass is making a limited-time comeback. This is good news for players who missed the original launch or didn’t complete it the first time.
Key details include:
- Available from May 15 to May 29
- Priced at a discounted 590 Lattice
- No free rewards included—Luxury Battle Pass purchase required to unlock content
This is a rare opportunity to access past cosmetic content, though NetEase has clarified that this version is slightly altered from the original.
Will Older Battle Passes Return Again?
According to developers, the return of Season 0 might not be a one-off. The team is exploring bringing back older Battle Passes in the future, but they’ve also set clear expectations:
- Any returning Battle Pass will cost at least 20% more than its original price
- Past Battle Passes won’t come back immediately—they’ll return no earlier than two seasons later
So if you’re eyeing any past content, it’s wise to grab it when it’s re-released.
The Galacta’s Gift event is a great moment for both new and returning players to jump in, enjoy the anniversary celebration, and grab some valuable cosmetic items for free. Log in starting May 15 and don’t miss your shot at scoring a skin with the Costume Coin.
