Marvel Rivals Season 9.5 is now underway, and alongside the arrival of The Hood and the latest batch of changes, NetEase is handing out another free costume through Twitch.
This time, Elsa Bloodstone gets the Will of Galacta treatment, with players able to unlock a spray, nameplate, emote and full costume simply by watching Marvel Rivals on Twitch.
The Season 9.5 Twitch Drops began on August 7 and remain available until September 4, 2026, so there is still plenty of time to pick up the complete set.
All Marvel Rivals Season 9.5 Twitch Drops
There are four rewards available during the Season 9.5 campaign, with each unlocking after reaching a particular watch-time milestone:
- 30 minutes – Elsa Bloodstone Will of Galacta Spray
- 1 hour – Elsa Bloodstone Will of Galacta Nameplate
- 2 hours – Elsa Bloodstone Spot of Tea Emote
- 4 hours – Elsa Bloodstone Will of Galacta Costume
The four-hour requirement is the big one, obviously, as that gets you the full Elsa Bloodstone Will of Galacta skin rather than another cosmetic trinket to disappear into your collection. The milestones are cumulative, so you only need to watch for four hours in total to get everything.
Marvel Rivals has regularly used the Will of Galacta series for its Twitch rewards, with various characters receiving the distinctive costume treatment since the game’s launch.
How to claim the Marvel Rivals Season 9.5 Twitch Drops
Before leaving Twitch running in another tab for four hours, make sure your accounts are actually connected. Otherwise, all you are achieving is giving somebody’s concurrent viewer count a welcome boost.
Head to the Twitch Drops section of the official Marvel Rivals website and log in using the account associated with your game. From there, link your Twitch account.
Once that is done:
- Open Twitch and find the Marvel Rivals category.
- Choose a stream marked with the Drops Enabled tag.
- Watch until you reach the required reward milestones.
- Check your Twitch Drops Inventory to track your progress and claim each unlocked item.
- Load Marvel Rivals and check your in-game mail for the rewards.
NetEase says watching multiple streams at the same time will not speed things up, as only one active Twitch channel counts towards your Drops progress. Rewards also need to be claimed through Twitch before they expire.
When do the Marvel Rivals Season 9.5 Twitch Drops end?
The Elsa Bloodstone Twitch Drops are available until September 4, 2026, at 09:00 UTC.
That gives players almost four weeks from the launch of Season 9.5 to get the required four hours watched, which should be considerably less demanding than some of the challenges Marvel Rivals normally throws our way.
Season 9.5 itself launched on August 7 and adds The Hood as Marvel Rivals’ latest playable hero, alongside new events, cosmetics, balance changes and other updates.
