According to journalist Jason Schreier, Bungie is planning a significant round of layoffs following the end of Destiny 2's active development. Destiny 3 is not currently in active production, and no new projects have been greenlit yet.
Sony has recorded a $560 million impairment in its Q4 FY2025 results tied to its troubled Bungie acquisition. With Marathon failing to gain traction and Destiny 2 at its lowest Steam numbers ever, total Bungie-related losses for FY2025 have reached approximately $765 million.
Bungie pushed Marathon Update 1.0.6 on April 14, 2026 with a new C.A.R.R.I. reward track, Stay Together crew formation after exfil, more solo-friendly progression, and a wide weapon pass led by major railgun changes.
A hot r/Games post highlights Bungie’s latest message on Marathon: CPU optimizations are coming, smaller updates should arrive faster, and the studio expects years of ongoing work.
GamesRadar reports analyst Rhyss Elliott of Alinea Analytics estimates Marathon has sold 1.2 million copies across PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, with a little under 70% of sales coming from Steam.
A high-signal r/Games post points to Eurogamer reporting that Fern "Antireal" Hook is now credited in Marathon as a visual design consultant. The update follows last year's dispute over artwork that Bungie later said had been used during development.
Bungie says it will raise the $10 Marathon currency pack to 1,120 LUX and credit 20 LUX to earlier buyers, matching the price of a runner skin. IGN also reports the first gameplay patch will add more ammo, med cabinets, and navigation distance on Perimeter.
A high-engagement r/pcgaming post confirms Marathon is now live on Steam. Store metadata lists a March 5, 2026 launch date, Bungie as developer/publisher, and PvPvE multiplayer focus.
During Marathon’s Server Slam period, Bungie said it is tracking complaints around sparse PvP encounters, UI friction, voice chat instability, and input issues, while advising players to move beyond beginner areas for higher-intensity matches.
A high-signal r/Games post tracks IGN’s Server Slam guide for Marathon: global access from Feb 26, 10 AM PT to Mar 2, 10 AM PT, with Steam/PlayStation 5/Xbox Series X|S support and cross-play/cross-save.
Bungie has released 40 minutes of new gameplay footage for its upcoming PvPvE extraction shooter Marathon. Those who played the beta describe the core gameplay as solid, with excitement building ahead of launch.
