Marathon requirements have already been released

After months of anticipation, Marathon has finally had its release confirmed for March 5, 2026, arriving on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. On PC, the title will be distributed via Steam, with cross-platform integration and shared progress. With the announcement, Bungie also released the system requirements for Marathon , essential information for those who intend to play on PC without experiencing crashes or unexpected performance drops.

What is the story of Marathon?

In Marathon, you control a bio-cybernetic Runner who explores dangerous regions of Tau Ceti IV in search of valuable resources. Each foray involves real risks: you could leave with important equipment or lose everything if you can't evacuate in time.

The game mixes confrontations against AI-controlled enemies and encounters with other human players, creating tension during each match. You need to choose when to advance, when to retreat, and how to handle unpredictable situations.

The story focuses on the disappearance of an expedition that occurred about a hundred years ago . Since then, no one knows for sure what happened to the crew of the spaceship Marathon. Now, you enter this unstable planet to recover data, uncover secrets, and confront unknown threats.

The customization system allows you to adjust frames, implants, and equipment, completely changing how you act during matches. Each choice affects mobility, resistance, and combat style, opening up varied paths during incursions.

This level of customization increases the density of simultaneous interactions in certain areas, reinforcing the importance of meeting Marathon requirements , especially in the recommended settings, to maintain fluidity even in more chaotic scenarios.
