Following this weekend's leak, Bungie has officially confirmed Marathon will launch for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on 5th March 2026. It's £35 / $40 for the base version, with a Deluxe Edition also available. Catch the release date trailer up above.

With its updated visual design and look, the fresh slice of footage features even more gameplay from the multi-platform extraction shooter.

Anyone who pre-orders either version of Marathon gets access to a selection of weapon and character decals, but if you opt for the £50 / $60 Deluxe Edition, you get:

  • Premium Rewards Pass Voucher
  • 200 Silk Rewards Pass Token
  • 2 Midnight Decay weapon cosmetics
  • 4 Midnight Decay runner cosmetics
Marathon PS5 2

Infil into the dark sci-fi world of Tau Ceti IV: A derelict colony rife with rival Runners, hostile UESC security forces, and hazardous environments. As you scavenge its zones for valuables with a crew or alone, tense moments of exploration break into fast-paced PvP combat where gunplay is responsive, time to kill is low, and preparation is rewarded.

As developer Bungie has shared more about the multiplayer experience in recent videos, chatter and opinion around the game seems to have gotten more positive. It will face competition for attention from the likes of ARC Raiders and many other online efforts, and with a $40 price point, it's obviously a lot more expensive than any free-to-play game.

Still, with the gunplay of a Bungie-developed title backing it, there's a chance Marathon will find success. Are you going to give Marathon a shot from 5th March? Let us know in the comments below.
