Marathon developers pledge long-term commitment in PC performance guide

Bungie developers behind the extraction shooter Marathon have stated they are 'in it for the long haul,' promising years of steady improvements. The assurance came in a new PC performance guide that outlines optimization tips and future updates. This follows estimates of modest initial sales for the game.

Bungie released a PC performance guide for Marathon, its first DirectX 12 title. The guide covers recommended settings, image quality enhancements, and optimization advice. In a section on future improvements, developers wrote, 'We have already identified some smaller improvements that we can make soon, particularly to improve CPU performance. We also have longer-term changes planned.' They emphasized rolling out updates incrementally rather than in large batches at once. The team added, 'While we are very proud of what we have accomplished with the overall look and feel of the game since Alpha, we are in it for the long haul with Marathon. We look forward to many years of steady improvements to every aspect of the game.'
