One day after Bungie's sci-fi extraction shooter Marathon launched on March 5, 2026, Steam concurrent players peaked near 90,000 but fell over 50% within 24 hours, fueling community concerns. Criticism targeted the $10 premium battle pass and store prices, alongside day-one exploits and delays, though artist Fern 'Antireal' Hook is now credited.
