Marathon is letting everyone play a free preview version of the game in an event called a ‘Server Slam.’ Not only can you try out this new sci-fi shooter from Bungie, but you’ll also earn rewards for participating! We’ll cover how to join the Server Slam and what goodies you can look forward to when Marathon officially launches.
How to Join the Marathon Open Beta
You can join the Marathon server slam by downloading the game for free from your favorite gaming platform. Just visit Steam, the Xbox store, or the PlayStation store and search for Marathon. You’ll find it available for free download on the game’s store page.
When Does the Marathon Server Slam Beta Start & End?
I’m so excited! The open beta for Marathon starts February 26th at 10 AM Pacific Time and runs until March 2nd at 10 AM PT. Then, just a few days later, on March 5th, the full game is launching! It’s going to be a premium extraction shooter, which sounds amazing.
As a gamer, I’m really excited that Marathon lets you play with friends no matter what console they’re on! Plus, if I ever switch consoles, I don’t have to worry about losing all my hard work – my progress carries over. That’s a huge relief!

I’m so excited for the future of this game! They’ve promised tons more content is coming, like new maps to run around in, cool new outfits for our Runners, even more weapons to unlock, and a proper Ranked mode so we can really test our skills. It’s going to be awesome!
