How I Unlocked the Public Relations Achievement in Marvel Rivals

I’ve been grinding Marvel Rivals achievements for a while now, and some of them feel less like objectives and more like tuning into a radio station that only exists for about thirty seconds under one specific neon billboard. The Public Relations achievement is exactly that kind of hunt. As of 2026, it still sends players into Tokyo 2099: Shin Shibuya, not to fight over a payload, but to simply listen to a Stark-Fujikawa promo when the game decides to play it. It sits in the same family as seasonal Easter egg achievements like A Hounding Conversation and Whispers from the Web, but this one lives purely inside one map.

The achievement is location-specific. You can’t unlock it by wandering around other maps or by menu-hopping. You need a Convergence match on Tokyo 2099: Shin Shibuya. That’s the same map where Spider-Zero hangs around and where a few other sneaky objectives live. If you load into the wrong Tokyo 2099 variant, you’ll be waiting for a broadcast that never comes, like expecting a vinyl record’s B-side to play while the needle is still on side A.

How I unlocked Public Relations

First, I queued for a Convergence match on Tokyo 2099: Shin Shibuya. I didn’t need to pick a specific hero, hold a specific spot in spawn, or press interact on anything. The trigger is much softer. In the first half, I just played the objective normally. Nothing special happened.

After the first half ended and the teams swapped sides, the map flipped to its second-half layout. That’s when the magic starts. The Stark-Fujikawa broadcast triggers automatically in the second half if you stay near the Stark building. For most players, it completes without a button press. I basically hovered around the Stark building while fighting, heard the promo crackle through the game’s audio, and the achievement popped.

The reward is five achievement points. It may not sound like a treasure vault, but for completionists, it’s a clean little bump.

Why this one trips people up

The main reason players miss it is timing. If you spend the second half fighting far from the Stark building, you might not be in range when the broadcast plays. The achievement is automatic, but automatic in Marvel Rivals can feel like a firefly that only blinks when you stand inside the right patch of shadow. If you’re chasing it, rotate through the Stark side of the map during the second half and don’t wander to the far edge.

Two more achievements in the same map

While I was in Tokyo 2099: Shin Shibuya, I also picked up two sibling achievements that use the same stand-in-the-right-place-and-listen structure.

Tough Business

This one lives inside the Stark-Fujikawa building. In the second half, I moved near the hologram. The uniform ad broadcast started automatically, and Tough Business completed without any other input. It’s like the building has its own intercom system that only greets you after halftime.

Eye Witness

For Eye Witness, I went to the Public Eye building in the Defender spawn on Tokyo 2099: Shin Shibuya. As soon as I reached the location, Public Eye’s internal comms triggered and the achievement unlocked. This one is a little more out of the way depending on which side you’re on, but it’s still passive.

Quick checklist

Final thoughts

I like these achievements because they reward map awareness rather than mechanical skill. They also push you into corners of Tokyo 2099 you might normally sprint past. If you’re cleaning up your achievement list in 2026, treat the second half like a different record side on the same turntable. The map looks familiar, but the audio cues, promos, and comms only start spinning after the switch. Queue for Convergence, play normally in the first half, then drift toward the Stark building and the nearby interiors in the second half. The Public Relations achievement should unlock with almost no friction, and you might grab Tough Business and Eye Witness along the way.
