Marathon is an upcoming PvP extraction shooter revealed by the developers at Bungie, who are known for creating popular games like Destiny and Halo. In their livestream held on April 12, 2025, the developers mentioned that this is new territory for them, as they have never worked with extraction games before. They also announced that Marathon will be released on September 23, 2025.

Here’s an article for you to explore Marathon’s availability and more.

As mentioned earlier, Marathon is scheduled for release on September 23, 2025. Their official website states that Marathon will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Moreover, the website also states that the game offers full cross-play and cross-save. In other words, you can play the game with your friend on PC while you play on PS5. Cross-save allows you to transfer your save file between consoles and PC.

With the reveal of cross-play and cross-save, it’s highly plausible that Bungie has more plans to expand the game after release, similar to what they did with Destiny 2. You can also wishlist the game on Steam to stay updated on any news and announcements from the developers.

Marathon is a team-based extraction shooter where your crew of three plays as Runners, individuals who have sacrificed their humanity in exchange for special powers that grant tactical advantages on the field. Set on the planet Tau Ceti IV, you’ll scavenge through lost colonies and key points of interest in search of valuable loot.

You’ll face off against 18 other players, numerous security robots, and alien-like creatures, making Marathon a mix of both PvP and PvE elements. With a variety of weapons and unique Runner abilities at your disposal, combat is fast-paced and intense. You’ll need to use your abilities strategically to outsmart enemies and make it out alive and wealthy.
