Insider Gaming • • technology
Key Points:
- Bungie announced that Marathon will be free-to-play during the first week of Season 3, from December 8 to December 15, allowing all players to access the new content without purchasing the game.
- This follows a similar free-to-play period at the start of Season 2 and aims to attract new players and encourage existing ones to invite friends to try the game.
- During the free week, players can experience new features including the Expeditions PvE mode, the Bishop shell, the updated Perimeter map, and all new gear and rewards, with progression retained if they purchase the game afterward.
- The free-to-play event is seen as a strategy to boost Marathon’s player base, which has remained steady but stagnant since release, with hopes of converting free players into paying customers.
- Bungie encourages community engagement and feedback through platforms like the Insider Gaming Discord server as Season 3 launches.
