Marathon Deluxe Edition discount sparks PlayStation confusion

Players buying a discounted Deluxe Edition of Marathon on PlayStation are discovering it does not include the full base game after a free trial ends.

Some confusion has arisen around Marathon's Deluxe Edition on the PlayStation Store. A discounted version bought by many users grants only Deluxe perks such as cosmetics, a premium seasonal pass and premium currency during the trial period. The store page has been updated to clarify that buyers receive no copy of the base game once the trial concludes. They must purchase the full version separately to continue playing. The issue stems from a PlayStation Store quirk where the free trial registers as the full game. This enabled the discounted Deluxe upgrade for trial owners. The situation follows Season Two's launch and initial maintenance problems. Bungie extended the free trial and provided players with some free in-game currency.

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.

Bungie confirmed it will provide the base edition of Marathon at no cost to players who purchased the Deluxe Edition upgrade during the Open Play Week at a discounted price. The move addresses confusion on the PlayStation Store where the bundle appeared cheaper than expected. The studio also extended the free-to-play period for the extraction shooter.

Six weeks after launch, Bungie's extraction shooter Marathon is discounted 20 percent to $32 on Xbox Series X/S for the first time, following analyst estimates pegging Xbox sales at just 10 percent of the game's 1.2 million total copies. The move highlights ongoing platform struggles despite steady updates.

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 has released update 1.0.5.2 for Marathon, its extraction shooter, introducing incentives for players to assist strangers. The CyberAcme Runner Reinforcement Initiative offers bonus rewards for completing contracts or exfiling with non-crew players, alongside a Mercy Kit for reviving downed opponents. Balance changes include nerfs to thermal scopes and claymore drones.

Bungie has no plans to develop Destiny 3. After content updates for Destiny 2 conclude in June, the studio will instead incubate new projects while continuing post-launch support for Marathon.
