Bungie berättar om Marathon server slam beta 26 feb.–2 mars

Med hänvisning till bekräftelsen av lanseringen den 5 mars 2026 har Bungie annonserat en pre-launch server slam beta för sin PvPvE extraction shooter Marathon, som pågår från 26 februari till 2 mars. Tillgänglig gratis på PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S och PC erbjuder testet begränsat spelande inför releasen. PlayStation Plus-prenumeranter kan låsa upp exklusiva belöningar från andra Sony-franchises.

Bungie delade server slam-detaljer via en ny trailer som betonar spelets sci-fi-skräckmiljö på Tau Ceti IV. Betan introducerar kärnspel med utvalda kartor, Runner-skal och kontrakt; fullständig lansering och Säsong 1 lägger till fler kartor, fraktioner, utrustning och innehåll. Synkad med Steam Next Fest kräver betan PS Plus eller Game Pass Core på konsoler men ingen förbeställning. Betaprogression förs inte över, men nivåindelade utrustningsbelöningar gör det. PlayStation Plus erbjuder exklusiva som Onryō Weapon Charm (Ghost of Yōtei), Battle Guitar Weapon Charm (Death Stranding 2) och For Freedom Weapon Charm (Helldivers 2). Xbox- och PC-spelare kan också tjäna dem, enligt Bungie, även om detaljer saknas. Enligt PlayStation Blog introducerar server slam Marathon inför 'ytterligare kartor, fraktioner, kontrakt och mer' vid lansering och Säsong 1. Detta följer tidigare alpha-tester med blandade recensioner på funktioner som solo-kö och proximity chat, med senaste uppdateringar som adresserar bekymmer.
