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.
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.

Bungie has outlined its long-term story vision for the live-service extraction shooter Marathon, with creative director Julia Nardin emphasizing player influence and ensuring every season serves as an entry point for new players. Season 2 launches in early June amid positive updates and review praise.
Bungie partnered with marketing firm Kurppa Hosk to design an alternate reality game that unlocked the Cryo Archive map in Marathon. Players solved the ARG faster than developers anticipated, leading to its timely activation before a weekend release. The effort aimed to blend in-game puzzles with external clues for community engagement.

Indian long-distance runner Sawan Barwal clocked 2:11:58 at the NN Marathon Rotterdam on Sunday to break the 48-year-old national marathon record held by Shivnath Singh since 1978. The 28-year-old army havildar from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, finished 20th despite tough windy conditions.
Bungie released a patch on March 31 for Marathon, eliminating slide-canceling and Thief grappling hook movement exploits used for unfair advantages. Changes include reopening an Outpost destroyed wing shortcut with a puzzle, Pinwheel loot and challenge improvements, a new locked keycard room, bullet-proof glass in the Hub, and a Dire Marsh bug fix. The game has sold over 1.2 million copies since launch amid strong reviews.
