  • Marathon will support crossplay and cross-progression, ensuring seamless progress transfer.
  • The game’s release date is set for September 23, competing with Borderlands 4 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Over the last weekend, Bungie unveiled their long-awaited project, giving us a glimpse of Marathon for the very first time.

Is it also confirmed that the extraction shooter will be released on the Nintendo Switch 2, in addition to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC?

Marathon Switch 2 Port Not Ruled Out

In a conversation with a popular Japanese gaming magazine, Famitsu, the director of Marathon, Joe Zielger, was questioned about the possibility of Marathon being released on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

As per Ziegler, through Pocket Tactics, they currently don’t have any intentions to include more compatible hardware, although they might reconsider this option in the future.

If the Switch 2 unveiling demonstrated that heavyweight games like Elden Ring could run smoothly on the system, it suggests that power may not be an issue, although we can’t definitively confirm this. However, Zielger’s failure to mention technical constraints as the reason for exclusion could mean that the possibility of porting Marathon Switch 2 remains open.

It’s great news that Marathon will allow crossplay and cross-progression! This means that if this game arrives on Switch 2 in the future, a player who wishes to switch platforms can easily transfer their saved progress.

For those eager to experience Marathon ahead of time, mark your calendars for April 23 as that’s when our closed alpha testing begins! And for those wondering if their PC meets the criteria, the necessary specifications have just been disclosed.

Although it’s been confirmed that the Switch 2 will be available starting from June 5th, recent whispers hint at limited stock availability at GameStop, which might make it challenging for folks aiming to buy one on its release date.

The highly-anticipated game titled “Marathon” is set to launch on September 23, simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. This release coincides with that of Borderlands 4, promising a thrilling clash between the two games.
