Does Marathon have crossplay? Bungie’s take on the extraction shooter finally lands this year, treating you to a bold, vivid take on graphic realism alongside the graphic reality of sending round after round of ammunition into a biosynthetic skin suit. But will you be able to revel in its team-based loot hoarding with whoever you want, whenever you want, regardless of platform?
Marathon sets you and your homies down in the lost colonial world of Tau Ceti IV, where you’ll have to put your FPS game skills to the test as you jostle for survival and the spoils that come with it. Perhaps more importantly, will you be able to access all of your hard-earned loot on other platforms with Marathon cross-progression? Read on to find out more about what the Marathon release date has in store.
Marathon crossplay
Marathon will support full crossplay across PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Bungie confirmed this when the game was originally announced back in 2023, and more recently reiterated the feature will be present with the full unveiling of the game.
In a May 2023 PlayStation Blog interview, Bungie editorial lead Brian Ekberg states that Marathon, then in development only for PC and PS5, would ship with full crossplay. Then, when Marathon was formally reintroduced to players in April 2025, replete with a full content suite showcasing the game, Bungie not only revealed that the multiplayer game has gone multi-platform, but crossplay will be present, in full, across them.
Marathon cross-progression
Bungie has confirmed that Marathon will support cross-progression across PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S consoles. This feature was announced alongside crossplay back in 2023 and was highlighted once more with the April 2025 re-reveal.
Keen to avoid a repeat of 2024’s Helldivers 2 account linking debacle, Bungie, now owned by Sony, has made it crystal clear that no PSN account will be required to jump in. Presumably, Marathon progression will either be tied to your Bungie ID or it’ll use the active account system present in Destiny 2.
And that’s all you need to know about Marathon crossplay and cross-progression.
