The creation of Marathon cost Sony Interactive Entertainment approximately $250 million. The purchase of Bungie a few years ago cost almost $4 billion, so the release of the new game is of great interest: will the investment pay off?
Currently, the situation is shaping up well. The idea that Marathon is "Concord 3.0" or Highguard is not confirmed. The game has been criticized, but testing has convinced many of the quality of the game. Sales before and immediately after release were so high that the novelty surpassed Resident Evil Requiem in the Steam bestseller ranking.
The peak of players occurred on March 6 – 88 337 people. The average score is 84% after 400+ opinions. The numbers are likely to change on the weekend.
The release took place on March 5, 2026 on three platforms at once: PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. A story trailer with music by Ryan Lott and Son Lux is also presented.
