"Marathon has now officially launched, and it doesn't look like it managed to pull an Arc Raiders - at least so far. At its peak, the Bungie shooter attracted 88,337 concurrent players on Steam (via SteamDB), which is a little over half of its Server Slam's 143,621 peak concurrent."
"Prior to Marathon's launch, Bungie held a multi-day Server Slam, which offered anyone interested in playing the game a chance to try out almost all of its classes, two of its maps, as well as many of its gameplay and progression systems. The open test was largely well-received, and players actually showed up for it."
"Indeed, word of mouth is quite positive, with the game currently sitting at a Very Positive user review rating on Steam, based on over 4,600 reviews. As has been proven time and time again"
Bungie's extraction shooter Marathon officially launched after delays and development challenges. The game attracted 88,337 concurrent players on Steam at launch, substantially lower than its pre-launch Server Slam event which peaked at 143,621 concurrent players. This contrasts with Arc Raiders, a competing extraction shooter that exceeded its pre-launch numbers at official launch and maintains an active player base. Marathon's launch performance fell short of expectations, drawing less than 60% of its Server Slam peak. However, the game has received positive community reception, earning a Very Positive rating on Steam based on over 4,600 reviews. Player numbers typically fluctuate with time zones and weekends, suggesting potential for growth.
