TL;DR: Bungie's extraction shooter Marathon launches March 5, 2026, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, featuring PvPvE gameplay on Tau Ceti IV. Priced at $39.99, it offers diverse Runners and optimized performance, requiring a GPU as low as a GTX 1050 Ti and recommending an RTX 2060 for smooth gameplay.

Bungie's extraction shooter, Marathon, finally got an official release date earlier today, with the game set to hit PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 5, 2026. Pre-orders for the game are now open, with its $39.99 USD price matching that of its competition, 2025's breakout hit Arc Raiders.

With the PvPvE action taking place on the "dark sci-fi world of Tau Ceti IV," Marathon sees players take control of Runners that all sport different playstyles, as they fight for loot and gear solo or as part of a crew. One of the big drawcards of Marathon, outside of Bungie's impeccable reputation for delivering responsive and fluid first-person mechanics, is the art style.

Although Bungie faced plagiarism accusations (which have since been resolved) over the origin of Marathon's evocative style, the good news for PC gamers is that you won't need a high-end rig to jump into the action. With the game's PC system requirements live on Steam, the recommended GPU is NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 2060 6GB.

And with the minimum spec requiring a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB graphics card, it sounds like Marathon is set to launch well-optimized. And with that, PC gamers with a GeForce RTX 3060 (the most popular gaming GPU on Steam) should have no issue maintaining 60+ FPS. Here's a breakdown of Marathon's PC system requirements.
