The popular superhero shooter, Marvel Rivals, is celebrating the festive season with a special event that allows players to claim free in-game currency. From December 24 to December 27, 2025, players logging into the game will have the opportunity to receive random amounts of Units by visiting the in-game Christmas tree located in Times Square.
Players can claim one Winter Gift each day during this event, totaling three free gifts over the four-day period. To participate, players need to access the non-combat area in Times Square, interact with the Christmas Tree, and collect their free Units. The rewards are reportedly random, with many players sharing their experiences on social media platforms such as Reddit. The average reported amount received so far is between 100 and 150 Units, potentially providing players with a total of 300 to 450 Units by the end of the event.
While the lowest-tier skins in Marvel Rivals cost around 600 Units, these free gifts can still serve as a helpful boost for players looking to accumulate currency without spending real money.
