About Cube Rivals
Cube Rivals is a fast arena shooter built for everyone, from casual drop-ins to competitive regulars. Matches take place across three colourful maps — Sunset Yard, Frost Lab and Neon Docks — and the game keeps lobbies alive by filling empty slots with skilled bots that carry their own names, levels and loadouts. Real players may join a running match at any time and take a bot's place, so the action never stalls.
Movement sits at the heart of Cube Rivals: sprint-speed running, high jumps, a dash with a short cooldown and a slide that preserves momentum combine to keep every fight kinetic. Headshots deal extra damage, melee hits from behind are devastating, and rockets can launch you into the air. Health regenerates after a few seconds without incoming damage.
Every match awards coins and XP. Weapons, hats, visors and weapon wraps unlock as you level up, and a daily gift plus an eliminations leaderboard give ongoing reasons to return.
