Marvel Rivals Aim Assist Target Prediction: How to Enable It

Marvel Rivals Aim Assist Target Prediction is a new optional controller setting introduced on 13 November 2026 with Season 11. It changes how aim assist switches between enemies, with the goal of making tracking and flicking between targets feel smoother.

The feature stays off until you enable it. Your current aim assist behaviour won’t change just because you’ve installed the update. If you’re happy with your controller settings, there’s no need to switch it on.

What does Marvel Rivals Aim Assist Target Prediction do?

When two opponents cross paths, changing targets can sometimes feel awkward on a controller. The new option changes the way the game handles that transition. NetEase says the aim is to make switching targets quicker and more natural without completely changing the familiar aiming feel.

Marvel Rivals Aim Assist Target Prediction isn’t an auto-aim or lock-on feature. You still move the sticks, choose your target and fire. The change affects how aim assist responds when you move between opponents.

How to enable Marvel Rivals Aim Assist Target Prediction

Once the Season 11 update is installed, open Settings and find Aim Assist Target Prediction among the controller aiming options. Turn it on to test the new behaviour. NetEase confirms the toggle’s name and that it must be enabled manually, but the official notes don’t give an exact menu path for every platform.

Keep your sensitivity, deadzone and aim assist strength at their usual values for the first test. Change only Aim Assist Target Prediction, otherwise you won’t be able to tell which setting made a difference.

Should you turn it on?

It’s worth trying if you struggle to move your aim between two opponents, particularly when they’re close together. Track one moving enemy and then switch to another. You’re looking for a smoother change of target, not extra damage or a guaranteed accuracy boost.

If your controller aim already feels comfortable, leaving Marvel Rivals Aim Assist Target Prediction disabled is fine. Different players prefer different levels of assistance, and this change is optional for that reason.

Does it work on mouse and keyboard?

The official announcement describes a controller aim assist change, not a mouse-and-keyboard aiming update. It doesn’t provide a complete compatibility chart for every platform or input method. Look for the toggle in your own controller settings rather than assuming it’ll appear with mouse controls.

It’s also separate from Season 11’s experimental PC CPU optimisation. That changes how the game runs; Aim Assist Target Prediction changes how controller aiming feels. You can test them independently.

Best way to compare the old and new aiming feel

Use a hero you know well and repeat a simple drill. Track one moving enemy, move to another target, then repeat with Marvel Rivals Aim Assist Target Prediction switched on. Keep everything else unchanged, and compare whether the transition is easier to control.

Give it a few matches before deciding. If your aim feels better, keep the setting. If it makes target switching less predictable, turn it back off rather than changing all your other options to compensate.

NetEase hasn’t claimed any fixed percentage increase in accuracy. Marvel Rivals Aim Assist Target Prediction is about making target transitions feel smoother, and whether that helps depends on your controller habits.
