Ahead of its upcoming launch across Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PS5 on March 5, Bungie's new futuristic extraction shooter Marathon is enjoying a massive comeback in terms of overall player reception and perception. As a result, preorders for the FPS are selling extremely well, at least on Valve's PC gaming platform Steam.
Marathon was originally supposed to launch in September 2025, but was delayed indefinitely while Bungie added deeper gameplay elements and highly requested features like proximity chat, while also reworking the game's "graphic realism" art direction to give it a "darker tone" and addressing its publicized art theft debacle.
