The most recent patch for Marvel’s Avengers makes “virtually all purchased” cosmetics available for free to give the game one more big push before it shuts down.
That means that any and all costumes drawn from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the 60-year-long run of the Avengers in Marvel comics will be made available to the players in their hero cards. In addition to unlocking cosmetic skins, emotes, takedowns, and nameplates are now also unlocked and can be accessible even when the game is not connected to the internet.
⚙ Update 2.8 goes live today on all platforms.
Update 2.8 unlocks nearly all Marketplace items for free, in addition to adding final buffs that will make Heroes feel more powerful as you continue to enjoy Marvel's Avengers in the future!

As a result of the termination of the cosmetic marketplace, all of the credits accumulated will be changed into playable in-game resources and commodities. Access to any things won in the campaign or bought from the Cosmetic Vendor must still be gained in the same manner.
Crystal Dynamics also extends a final thank you to players who have persevered through the game by providing them with a unique Founders Gift that will allow them to gain access to Iron Man’s Variable Threat Reaction Battle Suit.
The patch notes can be read in a heartbreaking blog post on the game’s website. The post also includes a final farewell from Sandra Saad, who provided the voice of Ms. Marvel. Saad expresses her gratitude to players for supporting the game in the video. She also discusses the creative process and her friendship with her co-star Brian George.
Since its debut in the year 2020, Marvel’s Avengers has been through a turbulent journey that has been filled with both highs and lows. Still, the show has never quite been able to live up to its full potential that it possesses. On September 30, 2023, all official support for the game will end; however, gamers will still be able to play the game online with their friends and play through the campaign. After that date, no further attention will be paid to any problems, including bugs and faults.
Are you saddened to learn that support for Marvel’s Avengers will be discontinued after this latest update?
