Bungie Sets NDA-Bound Marathon Technical Test for Oct. 22–28

The invite-only check targets core fixes after the delay, with a public development update pledged once testing concludes.

Overview

  • Sign-ups are open on Bungie.net through October 16, with PC applications also available via Steam starting October 13.
  • The limited test runs on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC and is restricted to players in North America and Europe.
  • Bungie says the build features three maps, five runner shells, proximity chat, a solo queue, re-tuned combat pacing, and deeper environmental storytelling.
  • Participation is under NDA, prohibiting public sharing, with feedback collected via surveys, Bungie forums, and an NDA section of the official Discord.
  • A release window has not been announced, and Bungie plans to share a broader update in the coming months as Sony has indicated an expectation of launch by March 2026.
