How to claim the Incognito Dolphin cosmetic bundle for free in Marvel Rivals?
Image via NetEase Games. The Incognito Dolphin cosmetic bundle for Jeff the Land Shark first made its way into Marvel Rivals in December 2024 in Season 0 of the game. This Epic skin became an instant hit after its release and the discounted price of 1,400 lattice added fuel to the anticipation. However, many players started playing the game after Season 0, so most of them missed out on this adorable outfit and the other cosmetics within the bundle. That is why, this highly wanted bundle is back again for players to collect, but there is a catch. Marvel Rivals Jeff the Land Shark Incognito Dolphin cosmetic bundle: How to get it? The Incognito Dolphin bundle in Marvel Rivals is only available for PS Plus members. | Image via NetEase Games. Marvel Rivals has recently launched the Incognito Dolphin cosmetic bundle for Jeff the Land Shark yet again, and the most exciting part about it is that fans can get this bundle for absolutely free. But the catch is that only the PlayStation users having an active PS Plus subscription can get this for free. The Incognito Dolphin bundle comes with a costume for Jeff the Land Shark along with an MVP animation, a Spray, a Nameplate, and 300 Chrono Tokens. Now the question is, how can PS Plus members redeem this bundle? This process is quite simple. All they have to do is to make sure that their PlayStation account is connected to Marvel Rivals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo And then they need to head on to the PlayStation Store and search for the 'Marvel Rivals - 2025 Q3 bundle' from their PS5 console itself or through the online store. After opening that page, players need to hit the 'Add to Cart' option, and at last continue with the 'Confirm Purchase' option. As long as an active PS Plus account is connected to the store, the price of this bundle will be shown as $0.00. So, it will be an absolutely free bundle for the PS Plus users. After completing the purchase, the bundle will automatically reflect in the associated Marvel Rivals account in the game. As of now, there is no expiration date of this bundle mentioned in the PlayStation Store. But players should make this transaction as early as possible, because this free deal might be replaced by the Q4 bundle in near future. Non-PS Plus members shouldn't get disappointed because they can also get another freebie, irrespective of any PS Plus subscription, in the form of the Scarlet Spider costume for Spider-Man, which they can redeem by following the same aforementioned process. However, the PlayStation account needs to be connected with Marvel Rivals as it's a PS-exclusive skin.

Epic PlayStation summer sale is live — 15 must-play PS5 and PS4 games from $5
PlayStation Store launched its summer sale last week, and it's offering some of the best PS5 game deals of the year so far. But you don't need to spend loads to pick up some must-play titles perfect for summer gaming. In fact, this annual PlayStation sales event is discounting a strong library of essential PS5 and PS4 games to lowest prices ever. For $20 or less, you can pick up fantastic games including Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Mortal Kombat 1 and even God of War Ragnarok (on PS4, the PS5 version will cost you $29). There are hundreds of deals to choose from, so I've combed through the PlayStation Store and picked out my 15 favorite deals right now. And for gamers who prefer a physical disc, I've also found some excellent savings at Amazon and Best Buy (Though some of these cost more than $20). One of the most acclaimed and influential games of all time, Resident Evil 4 has been reborn in this full-scale remake. You play Leon S. Kennedy on a mission to rescue the President's kidnapped daughter in a spooky European village overrun with gruesome enemies. Featuring modernized gameplay and overhauled visuals, this is Resident Evil 4 as you've never seen it before. Final Fantasy XVI is a mature, action-focused reinvention of Square Enix's long-running RPG franchise that spins a yarn closer to "Game of Thrones" than any of the previous entries. In FF16, you play Clive Rosfield, son of the Duke of Rosaria. After a tragic opening, you're forced to become a "Bearer" for another ruler, and set off for a gripping tale that's laden with twists, wielding all kinds of powers in precise, real-time battles as you travel the length and breadth of Valisthea. Atlus's Persona series has a strong pedigree, and this full-fledged remake brings the Persona 3 story to the current console generation so franchise veterans and newcomers can experience it. Part social sim and part JRPG, Persona 3 Reload updates the visuals and incorporates many quality-of-life improvements and new elements, bringing the original tale up to date and making this another must-play RPG. Sonic X Shadow Generations combines a remaster of 2011's Sonic Generations, a love letter to the Blue Blur that remains a fan-favorite to this day, with a new Shadow-focused campaign. It's a strong package, and it's perfectly timed to coincide with the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie, which is now available to watch on streaming, so you can have a whole Sonic X Shadow-themed weekend. Star Wars Outlaws represents a new frontier for a Galaxy far, far away as it's the first-ever open-world game set in the iconic sci-fi universe. You play a Han Solo-type named Kay Vess, as you explore various planets and navigate criminal syndicates and the sinister Galactic Empire. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is the game the PS5 was born to play. In this stylish intergalactic adventure, you'll take control of seasoned heroes Ratchet and Clank — as well as their distaff counterparts, Rivet and Kit. With 10 huge planets to explore, tons of weapons to customize and upgrade, a variety of enemies to fight, and plenty of puzzles to solve, Rift Apart is an absolute joy from start to finish. We're in a golden age of horror remakes, and Silent Hill 2 is among the very best. This stunning new take on the survival-horror classic sees you step into the fog-blanketed town as James Sunderland, a man on the hunt for his missing wife. Tense and atmospheric, it's fantastic. Kingdom Come Deliverance II is a vast RPG sequel that sees you once again step into the boots of Henry, a young nobleman on a quest for revenge in medieval Bohemia. Designed to be as immersive as possible, the world reacts to your actions, and most quests can be completed in a myriad of ways. Its more restrictive elements may be off-putting to some players, but if you're looking for a sprawling quest that gives you plenty of freedom, few do it better than KCDII. Metaphor ReFantazio, an original fantasy adventure that combines social sim elements with stylish turn-based combat, comes from the creator of the acclaimed Persona series. Yes, it's basically Persona in a fantasy setting, but that's a recipe for success, and Metaphor easily gets its hooks into you. It's also meaty, with even a rushed playthrough taking several dozen hours. Returnal is a heart-pounding PS5 game that combines bullet-hell gameplay with an engaging roguelike structure. You play an astronaut stuck in a time loop on a mysterious and very deadly alien planet. It's your job to break the cycle and unravel the mystery of this strange new world and how you came to be stranded here. Long before Elden Ring, Bloodborne and Dark Souls, From Software released Demon's Souls, the first Souls title to truly establish the core gameplay loop that has taken the gaming world by storm. For the current generation, Sony had Bluepoint develop this faithful, beautiful remaster, which improves on the original title and updates it with amazing graphics, new weapons, and items. The Last of Us Part 1 is a stunning remake of the PS3 original, completely rebuilt from the ground up to take full advantage of the PS5 console. It includes the full original game as well as its DLC chapter, Left Behind. This is the ideal pick for fans of the HBO show ahead of season 2 or returning players looking to experience Joel and Ellie's first gripping cross-country adventure all over again. Split Fiction is a co-op adventure where two writers, Mio and Zoe, get trapped in a chaotic mix of their own stories. One minute, you're dodging cyber ninjas, the next, you're riding dragons. It's all about teamwork, solving puzzles, and navigating wild genre mashups to escape their own imaginations. The latest entry in the juggernaut Call of Duty franchise is a return to the world of Black Ops, and per series tradition, comes packing three distinct modes: Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies. While the boots-on-the-ground gameplay isn't anything new for the series, it's as polished as ever, and there's a reason it remains the premier shooter on the market (even if the aggressive monetization and gimmicky skins are off-putting).
