Bungie has announced that Marathon will launch for PS5 and PC in March 2026 and will carry a price tag of $39.99.
The former Halo developer also highlight a number of key improvements to the game since its Alpha phase, including the addition of proximity chat, solo queue, and doubling down on Marathon’s “dark, gritty, and grounded sci-fi world.” As such, players can look forward to greater environmental storytelling, while Dead Runners will drop as corpses that will decay over time, with audio now playing a major role in immersing players in the locations.
Marathon sees players working as crews of three as they comb the lost colony on Tau Ceti IV for powerful weapons and equipment, battling against AI security forces, otherworldly foes, and rival Runner teams also competing for loot. However, while death is pretty much a given in this cut-throat world, you’ll return to keep everything you previously scavenged, allowing you to grow in power and fill your vault during matches.
Bungie originally planned to release Marathon in September 2025 but was pushed back to a then-undisclosed date in June, although Sony had previously stated that it intended to launch the game by the end of Mach 2026.
