Sony has taken a major financial hit on its bungie acquisition, recording an impairment loss of roughly $765 million for the fiscal year. The charge stems from underperformance by destiny 2 and the new extraction shooter marathon.
A player exploited an out-of-bounds bug in Marathon's Cryo Archive raid to ambush teams after they completed the encounter. The studio has committed to fixing the issue before the map returns and is reviewing policies on such actions.

The Marathon development team released a new patch that reduces grenade stack sizes across several types. The changes target the so-called grenade meta that had frustrated players in the extraction shooter. Additional fixes address armoury issues and map security.
Prominent players in Bungie’s Marathon extraction shooter have accused cheaters of ruining ranked play, particularly in high-level lobbies and the Cryo Archive map. Streamers like AlbralelieVT described encounters with wall-hacks and stream snipers, prompting Bungie to announce expanded anti-cheat measures. The studio emphasized ongoing improvements to protect fair play.

Bungie game director Joseph Ziegler announced upcoming balance patches for Marathon to address combat issues identified through observations and player feedback. Changes target the knife's scaling, bubble shields, thermal scopes, and snipers, with buffs for Vandal and Recon shells. Additional secret updates will introduce new items for solo revives and merciful options between teams.
Bungie has rolled out a matchmaking improvement in Marathon to help players in isolated geographical regions, such as Australia and South America, find games faster. The change addresses reports of long queue times for those far from North American and European server hubs. Players have already noted quicker matches.

Following the debut of Marathon's challenging Cryo Archive endgame map last week, Bungie is aggregating player feedback on issues like solo play, subroutine drop rates, and weekend-only access. Game director Joe Ziegler said the team will discuss potential changes internally this week.
