Contrary to many predictions, Marathon did not fail at launch as spectacularly as Concord, and managed to gather a decent player base on Steam. However, Bungie's project may have disappointed Sony: analysts speak of sales of 1.2 million copies, with only 19% of them being on PS5.
Despite the launch figures, Bungie has announced plans to support the game for many years. In the PC performance guide, the developers assured fans that they would not abandon the extraction shooter.
We're in it for the long haul with Marathon. We look forward to many years of steady improvements in every aspect of the game.
The developers explained that just as the team refined the visuals after the first criticism from fans, the performance of Marathon on PC will improve over time. There are no specific details yet, but the studio confirmed that both long-term changes and upcoming patches to optimize processor performance are in development.
In the last week, the peak online in Steam does not exceed 45 thousand people.
