RIVALS

RIVALS is the most-played first-person shooter on Roblox, developed by Nosniy Games (led by Nosniy and SenseiWarrior) and officially launched June 28, 2024. It has accumulated 13.57 billion visits with 68.4 million favorites and 200,000 to 400,000 concurrent players - numbers that place it among Roblox's all-time elite games. It won the RIA25 Best Shooter Experience award and is consistently ranked in the platform's top 10 by visits.

The signature format is round-based competitive FPS duels: players step on duel pads in the lobby to challenge opponents in 1v1 through 5v5 matches where the first team to 5 round wins takes the match. Beyond duels, the game expands into a full competitive ecosystem spanning 21 game modes and a cosmetic economy built around weekly progression:

• ⚔️ Challenge opponents in 1v1 to 5v5 round-based FPS matches across duel pads and multi-team formats
• 🏆 Climb ranked mode and leaderboards tracking win streaks, with Season 1 planned for September 2026 featuring a full 100-tier battle pass
• 💎 Unlock weapons and cosmetics using Keys earned from wins, Contracts, and daily activity
• 💼 Complete Contracts for exclusive cosmetic rewards through challenge-based objectives
• ⏳ Earn seasonal cosmetics through the Season Pass with Golden Tickets for premium Skin Cases

The weapon catalog spans 52 guns across Primary, Secondary, Melee, and Utility categories in Standard, Prime, and Contraband rarities. Career levels reward free cosmetics every 10 levels, running parallel to the Keys-based unlock economy. Community-designed Wraps - weapon texture overlays submitted through the Discord concept art channel - are regularly added to the game, giving players a direct creative pipeline into the cosmetic catalog.

RIVALS is available on desktop, mobile, tablet, Xbox, and PlayStation 5. For competitive FPS players looking for the defining Roblox shooter experience, it competes in the same space Arsenal occupied in the previous era - but with a significantly deeper ranked system and broader platform reach.
