Bungie is gearing up for the release of its upcoming game, Marathon, which is set to debut in just over a month. Drawing on its experience with Destiny 2, Bungie is introducing a fresh approach to the extraction shooter genre, featuring a vibrant neon art style that stands out. Despite initial concerns about the game’s longevity after launch, developers have reassured fans by promising a substantial amount of content updates throughout 2026.
One potential drawback for Marathon is its initial price point, coming in at £34.99 in the UK. While titles like Helldivers 2 and ARC Raiders have demonstrated the potential for success in this genre, the premium price may deter some players, especially with the market becoming increasingly competitive.
For those looking to save some money, PC gamers have the opportunity to pre-order Marathon at a discounted price through Loaded. By purchasing a Steam key pre-order from Loaded, players can enjoy a 23% discount, reducing the price to £26.99. This pre-order deal also includes bonus cosmetic items for the game.
Players who have experience with Destiny 2 can further enhance their Marathon experience by linking their accounts for additional cosmetic rewards. Additionally, Loaded is offering a discount on the Deluxe edition of Marathon for PC, priced at £39.99 instead of the usual £49.99.
Unfortunately, console gamers will not find discounted Marathon keys on Loaded for PlayStation or Xbox platforms. The game is set to launch digitally on March 5, 2026, for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC platforms.
