Bungie Marathon Release Date Set: $39.99 Sci-Fi Shooter Arrives March 2026
Bungie officially announces the Marathon release date for March 5, 2026. The sci-fi extraction shooter will cost $39.99 on PS5, Xbox, and PC.
The makers of Halo and Destiny are finally back on the clock. Bungie has locked in an official release date for its much-anticipated extraction shooter, Marathon. After a significant delay fueled by player feedback, the slick sci-fi title is set to arrive on March 5th, 2026, across all major platforms.
Bungie Marathon Release Date and Pricing Details
According to The Verge, Bungie is pricing the game at $39.99, a move that positions it competitively against current $70 triple-A titles. It'll launch simultaneously on Xbox Series S / X, PS5, and PC. This mid-tier pricing strategy follows a growing trend for live-service games looking to build a massive player base from day one.
New Features Born from Player Feedback
The delay wasn't just for polish. Bungie used the extra time to integrate features like proximity chat and a dedicated solo queue option, both of which were highly requested during early alpha tests. Set in the year 2850, players step into the boots of 'Runners' to scavenge remnants of a fallen civilization in a high-stakes, competitive environment.
