Marvel Snap has been enjoying regular updates since its October 2022 release and the long-awaited PvP Battle Mode is finally here.

Here, we'll be breaking down how you can play the Battle Mode in the game so you can go head-to-head with your friends and rivals.

How do you play Battle Mode?

First, to access the Marvel Snap Battle Mode, Second Dinner has elaborated over Twitter that you need to have both completed the "stakes" tutorial and need to be at least Rank 10. Next, make sure you've updated the game.

Once you load the latest version of Marvel Snap, select the new "Game Modes" option that now appears on the inner right of the bottom navigation menu. Next, select the only game mode to pick "Friendly Battle".

From there, you can either create a match or join one made by your friend. Each created match has its own code. So, either give your code out to your friend and wait for them to enter it and join - or vice versa.

Now, you will be able to duel Marvel-style to your heart's content. Second Dinner has also said to keep two other points in mind via their Twitter post.

One is that "you cannot change decks between rounds or SNAP beyond your health bar!". The second is that "during Round 5, the stakes are raised! Rounds start at 2 cubes rather than 1".

Instead of making Battle Mode exactly the same as normal Marvel Snap games, Second Dinner has added a couple of extra tweaks to keep it fresh.
