NetEase Games has introduced a new High/Low-Resolution Resource Pack feature for Marvel Rivals on Steam. The update allows players to choose between high-resolution and low-resolution texture packs depending on their storage space, hardware performance, and visual preferences.
The new feature uses Steam’s DLC system to manage texture pack selection. Players can now reduce the game’s installation size by switching to the low-resolution resource pack, though some visual quality may be affected in certain situations.
