This guide will walk you through the process of creating custom games in Marvel Rivals. Whether you’re interested in organizing casual matches, competitive encounters, or practice sessions against AI opponents, setting up your own lobby offers a myriad of opportunities for personalized gameplay experiences.
Custom games provide greater flexibility, making it easy to enjoy with friends or connect with new players. Let’s dive into the steps for creating and customizing your matches.
Creating Custom Games in Marvel Rivals
To begin crafting your custom game, launch the play lobby in Marvel Rivals. If you’re familiar with the game, navigating the interface should be straightforward, but here’s a quick refresher.
On the main screen, locate and click the Play button, as shown below:
Next, select the Quick Match option. This is the section where you can alter your game mode settings, subtly indicated on the same button.
This will present you with various game mode options available in Marvel Rivals. Our focus here is on customizing your game, so click on Custom Game.
Welcome to the Custom Game interface! Here, you can join existing lobbies or create your own by selecting the Create button.
Options for Marvel Rivals Custom Games
Once you’ve established your custom game, you will encounter a range of options to tailor your gaming experience to your liking.
Here’s a brief overview of your customization capabilities:
- Add AI bots to fill your lobby.
- Modify map and game mode settings.
- Secure the room with a password.
- Randomly swap players or entire teams once the lobby is full.
To add bots, simply click the Add Bots button and choose from various difficulty levels: easy, normal, or hard.
The room settings feature allows you to manage who can join through the Join Access menu, which also applies to spectating permissions. Additionally, during competitive play, you can establish ban/pick rules to elevate the stakes of your matches.
In the bottom right corner, you’ll see your selected game mode and map. Clicking the map icon opens the settings menu, enabling you to choose which maps to include, whether it’s one specific map, a few, or all of them available.
Your gameplay preferences can also be adjusted between options such as Quick Match, Competitive play, and Arcade mode, which operates effectively as Team Deathmatch. For competitive settings, ban/pick rules can enhance gameplay intensity.
For those wishing to create a private room, navigate to the room settings, check the Lock Room box, and set a password. Only players who enter the password you provide can access your room.
Once everything is set up to your liking, simply click the yellow Start button in your lobby to jump into the action!

First things first, make sure you have friends to play with—easier said than done for some!
Once you’re hosting a lobby, click on the friends icon located at the top right of your screen:
From there, simply right-click on your friend’s name and select Invite to bring them into your Custom Game!
