For those playing Bungie’s Marathon, the game’s first planned downtime is here on March 11, as Bungie prepares the game to receive update 1.0.0.4 across all platforms.

If you can’t connect to the extraction shooter, don’t fret, as Marathon’s offline state is for planned maintenance.

For the schedule on how long the game will be offline, as well as what to expect from the patch, read on.

Marathon Servers Taken Offline on March 11

Update: Complete patch notes for today’s title update are now live, and it’s a lot longer than we anticipated for a first patch.

Wednesday, March 11, 2026 — Update 1.0.0.4

12:30 AM PDT	UTC-7	Marathon will undergo maintenance. Sign-on will be unavailable. Players actively in runs will be able to complete them.
1:00 AM PDT	UTC-7	Marathon will begin being brought offline for expected maintenance. Players will start being removed from activities.
~3:00 AM PDT	UTC-7	The latest Marathon update is expected to become available across all platforms and regions.
~3:30 AM PDT	UTC-7	Players are expected to be able to log back into Marathon. Players logging into the game may be placed in a queue and may experience sign-on issues as background maintenance is still ongoing.
4:00 AM PDT	UTC-7	Marathon maintenance is expected to conclude. Console players who encounter issues updating should restart their console and try downloading the update. Players who observe issues should report to the Marathon Help Forum.

When it comes to the planned changes in patch 1.0.0.4, the actual changelog hasn’t been shared yet, but we do know some of the key items being tweaked per the patch preview:

Increased the distance objective nav points appear from 10m to 20m.
Increased the number of Med Cabinets and Munitions Crates that can spawn on Perimeter.
Increased the amount of starting ammo in MIDA, CyberAcme, and Arachne free Sponsored Kits.

This is a preliminary list of changes and is not the complete patch notes.

Alongside the update, LUX economy changes are on the way too, which we reported about last week.

If there are any changes to the downtime, we’ll update the article with the info. Once the patch is live, we’ll include a link to it in the article.
