Bungie has confirmed that Marathon will not require a PSN Account to play the game on PC and Xbox, following last year's Helldivers 2 debacle.

Marathon has been pretty much radio silent since it was announced all the way back in May 2023, with the only news we really heard being doom and gloom about the state of the game and its numerous (internal) delays. However, that's hopefully all in the past now, as we're finally getting a gameplay showcase later this week on April 12. Almost two years after it was revealed, it's almost time to actually see Marathon in action. While we don't know much yet, we have found out one piece of good news about the game: that it won't be repeating Helldivers 2's worst mistake.
