Marathon Listed for PS4 and Xbox One

Bungie is preparing to launch Marathon on PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S, a pivotal moment that could significantly impact the company's future. Marathon is a first-person extraction shooter featuring online multiplayer and co-op modes. While the game is scheduled to arrive on these platforms soon, recent information suggests Bungie may expand its availability to older consoles. The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) rated Marathon "T" for Teen, citing animated blood, language, violence, in-game purchases, and user interaction. Notably, the listing also includes PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, despite no official announcement from Bungie. The ESRB, which provides age ratings for games in the U.S., classifying Marathon for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One implies that the game was tested on these consoles. It’s possible Bungie tested Marathon on these platforms but decided against releasing those versions. However, the ESRB generally does not comment on or list internal testing versions. The ESRB rating might also indicate a future release for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Given Marathon's player-versus-player extraction and survival gameplay, Bungie could aim to broaden its player base with versions for these consoles.

Smooth Marathon Launch Prepped for Multiple Platforms Awaiting Official Confirmation

Before the scheduled March 5, 2026, launch, Bungie conducted a Server Slam test to ensure a smooth launch. Bungie has not yet confirmed a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One release for Marathon, and fans will need to await official confirmation.
