Decide which character’s progress you intend to use
Marvel Rivals distinguishes a platform account used to log in from the character holding rank, progress, collections and paid content. Cross-progression links platform accounts so each can use the selected primary character. If the accounts already have separate characters, the unselected ones remain stored; their data is not merged into the chosen character. [1]
Steps
- Identify the character whose progress and collection you want to use across the linked accounts before confirming the primary-character selection. [1]
Bind the other platform account from the in-game menu
The publisher lists Epic, Steam, Loading Bay, PlayStation and Xbox as supported account platforms. Its linking instructions use Settings > Other > Account > Account Binding, then selection and verification of a platform other than the current login. Complete that verification and wait for binding to finish before treating the accounts as connected. [1]
Steps
- Open Settings > Other > Account > Account Binding. Select the other platform, complete its account verification and wait for binding to finish. [1]
Check the PlayStation login before authorizing the link
The Q&A warns that PlayStation authorization can automatically use the account currently signed in on the official PlayStation website. Make sure that is the intended account, or sign out before proceeding. It also says that after binding a PSN account, a different PSN account cannot be bound; relinking the original is allowed under its stated policy. [1]
Steps
- Confirm that the PlayStation website session belongs to the PSN account you intend to link, or sign out of that session before authorization. [1]
Respect primary-character and unlinking cooldowns
Switching the primary character and unlinking a platform are different operations with different cooldowns. After a primary selection, other characters cannot become primary for 30 minutes. After unbinding, the account and related platform enter a 180-day cooldown during which the same platform cannot be rebound. Read the confirmation before a tournament or planned device change; unlinking is not an instant refresh. [1]
Steps
- To change the active character, review Account Binding and choose the desired primary once its cooldown permits. Avoid unlinking a platform merely to make a character switch. [1]
Verify platform ranks, costumes and web-service links separately
The primary character does not combine device ranks: battle data and leaderboard positions for PC, PlayStation and Xbox remain separate. An exclusive costume used on another platform displays as the default costume. Discord and Twitch-drop bindings are not automatically updated by character linking, so review those web-service connections if they no longer point to the intended character. [1]
Steps
- After linking, check the character used on the target device and verify the Discord or Twitch-drop connection separately when needed. [1]
