Overview

• Marathon, Bungie's first major release since its acquisition by Sony, will not require a PlayStation Network account for PC and Xbox players.
• The decision follows backlash over similar requirements in past Sony-published games like Helldivers 2, which faced significant criticism from players.
• A Bungie account will still be necessary for cross-save and online features, ensuring a unified experience across platforms.
• The game, a revival of Bungie's classic franchise, will feature customizable characters called Runners and modern extraction shooter mechanics.
• Fans will get their first detailed look at Marathon during the gameplay reveal scheduled for April 12, 2025, at 10 AM PT.
