Bungie confirmed plans to make the current Season 1 Reward Pass feel more valuable for Marathon players by revealing new Runner Shell skins and other additions coming in April. Despite the rocky development cycle, Marathon has seemingly found its footing in 2026 thanks to a much more well-received Server Slam compared to last year's Alpha Test. The extra time has seemingly done the game good and while the experience isn't perfect, Marathon already seems to have found a passionate base of players.
After launching on March 5, the experience still hasn't been perfect, though Bungie has seemingly been quick to try and address issues that players have reported. In fact, the Server Slam test saw most players criticize the game's UI over readability issues. On the opposite end of the spectrum, fans have seemingly taken to the fact that Marathon has seemingly learned lessons from Destiny 2's microtransactions and won't charge for seasonal content, offer items that unlock content, or expire any Reward Passes after the season has ended. Even with the reduced FOMO elements, players have still noted some issues with Marathon's microtransactions.
