‘Marathon’ Is Listed As A ‘Destiny 2’ Expansion, Was Auto-Installing D2 On PCs

  • Marathon will launch on March 5 priced at $40, with pre-orders live across Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, Bungie said.
  • A categorization error placed Marathon inside Destiny 2's Eververse microtransaction store as an "expansion" following the pre-orders on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.
  • A rollout bug recently auto-installed Destiny 2 on some PCs during Marathon pre-orders, which Bungie resolved; Marathon also ranked high then dropped on Steam revenue charts.
  • The timing of Marathon's March 5 launch will delay Destiny 2's Shadow and Order update scheduled for March 3, and some Destiny players expressed frustration.
  • Facing stiff competition, Marathon enters a competitive extraction-shooter market and must avoid launch-critical bugs when March arrives.
