Marvel's Avengers players can now access 60 MCU-inspired outfits for free.
Almost three years, 16 million players, three story expansions, six DLC heroes, and 800 cosmetic outfits later, Marvel's Avengers is bringing its life cycle to an end.
Throughout its years of popularity - if one could even call them that - Avengers debuted many skins dedicated to the MCU.
Marvel's Avengers Update Makes MCU Skins Free
Square Enix released the version 2.8 update for Marvel's Avengers across all platforms that offers free access to "nearly all MCU and non-MCU-inspired Outfits, Emotes, Takedowns, and Nameplates," with these now automatically available to be applied on the Hero Card.

Return to Marvel's Avengers One Last Time
It's no secret that Marvel's Avengers struggled to find its footing, particularly when it came to the multiplayer and post-launch content. Sure, the single-player game was generally praised on release, but the co-op gameplay loop was seen as repetitive, and the DLC did minimal to improve on the problem.
Since launch, there have only been three major story expansions and six new heroes, several of which play frustratingly similarly to other characters. But while most of the post-launch content has been lacking, especially in the last year, Square Enix has certainly gone all-in on the paid skin marketplace.
The game truly has so many unique cosmetic variations available, including the many described above inspired by fan-favorite MCU looks. So with updates coming to an end and the game disappearing from sale in a few months, making all these skins free serves as a generous way to thank the dedicated players.
Then again, that's not to say everybody will be happy with this decision. Most of the MCU skins cost around 2,400 in-game currency, which costs roughly $20. Any players who have poured a lot of money into this title to collect these skins would have every right to be angry at seeing them now given away for free.
Marvel's Avengers is available now for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with the game set to be de-listed for sale on September 30.
