Overview
- Bungie’s Marathon server slam runs February 26 to March 2 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC with crossplay and cross-save, and rewards earned carry into the full game launching March 5.
- The Marathon preview includes two zones (Perimeter and Dire Marsh), five Runner shells and faction contracts, with additional zones, the sixth shell, full faction progression and Ranked Mode arriving at launch and Season 1.
- Guerrilla’s Horizon Hunters Gathering closed playtest runs February 27 to March 1 for selected players on PS5 and Steam and is covered by an NDA with no in-test rewards or release date announced.
- Horizon’s test offers three hunters (Axle, Rem, Sun), two modes (Machine Incursion and Cauldron Descent), the Colorado Springs map and access to The Gathering social hub with campsite customization.
- Access to Horizon’s test is limited to North America and Europe in daily windows (4:00–7:00 p.m. PT and 7:00–10:00 p.m. CET), and outlets note the overlapping schedule raises concerns about splitting attention between the two Sony-published events.
