Bungie Launches Experimental Duos Queue in Marathon on March 18

A Perimeter-only trial will gauge matchmaking, balance and demand to guide any future rollout.

Overview

  • The limited-time queue opens Wednesday at 10 a.m. PT and is expected to run for about two weeks, though Bungie may end it early or extend it.
  • Participation requires a premade two-player squad, with duos matched only against other duos and no option to solo-queue or fill.
  • The test is confined to the Perimeter map and is accessed from the zone select screen under “Perimeter: Duo.”
  • Bungie labels the feature explicitly experimental, cautions that the implementation is not final, and warns some elements may be rough.
  • Data and player feedback from the test will inform whether duos become a permanent queue and will shape further post-launch experiments.
