In multiplayer games, communication plays a huge role in ensuring you win fights. While singleplayer games are more inclined towards providing an independent experience ruled by one player, multiplayer games, mostly team-based multiplayer games, foster team play and communication. Similarly, in Marvel Rivals, where you are part of a 6-player team in the PvP modes, you will eventually need to communicate with your teammates either to form strategies or to get support. To facilitate this, there are two modes of communication offered. One is voice chat and the other is chat text. This is true for all platforms the game is available. However, unlike voice chat, the text chat feature in consoles is slightly tricky to access. Since you are reading this, you too might be wondering how to use the text chat feature in Marvel Rivals on your PS5 and Xbox using a controller.
