Marathon Won't Be Full Price, Though Bungie Says It Will Be "A Premium Title"

"Bungie confirmed that Marathon will not be a full-priced title, but details about its actual entry cost will be revealed later this summer."

"Despite being labeled a 'premium title,' Bungie clarified that Marathon's price will not reflect the typical premium price tag of $70, leaving the exact cost uncertain."

"Previously reported at $40, Marathon intends to maintain that price point without shifting to a free-to-play model, reflecting Bungie’s prior pricing strategies."

"With Marathon launching on September 23, it's noteworthy that it shares its release date with Borderlands 4, underlining a competitive gaming landscape."

Developer Bungie clarified that the upcoming game Marathon will not be a full-priced title, though specific pricing details are yet to be revealed, anticipated this summer. Previously suggested at a $40 entry cost, Marathon, described as a premium experience, will not adopt a free-to-play model. This follows Bungie's typical strategy with other live-service games. The game is set to launch on September 23, coinciding with another significant release, Borderlands 4. In addition, a closed alpha for the game is coming this month, providing community engagement opportunities.
