Marathon opens its servers and lets you try it now with the Server Slam

The time to drop into the battlefield is now. Marathon officially activates its Server Slam, an open playtest available now through March 2 at 10:00 AM PT.

This phase allows players to experience the extraction shooter set on Tau Ceti IV firsthand, putting weapons, builds, and strategies to the test in a live competitive environment. The Server Slam is more than just a technical demo: it’s an opportunity to stress-test server performance and gather direct community feedback as the title gears up for its full launch.

The playtest is available worldwide on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, featuring full cross-play and cross-save support. This means you can play with friends regardless of their platform and keep your progress synced across all devices.

The Server Slam represents a pivotal step before the official release, offering a true taste of the pacing, tension, and competitive design that define Marathon. Are you ready to deploy, secure your loot, and extract before the clock hits zero?

The servers are live. Now the choice is yours: jump in, compete, and see if you have what it takes to survive on Tau Ceti IV.
