Marathon Won’t Require PlayStation Account on Xbox, PC
[summaraize]
In recent years, Sony PlayStation have started bringing their games to other platforms, whether by choice or out of need. One big example of this is when PlayStation acquired Bungie, a studio that still makes games for multiple platforms, including for its upcoming titles.
Bungie’s next title, Marathon, will be released not only on PlayStation but also on Xbox and PC. This raises an important question: since Marathon is a PlayStation game, will it require a PSN account to play on other platforms like PC or Xbox?
Will Marathon Require a PSN Account to Play on PC or Xbox?
Bungie responded to this question through their official Discord account (thanks, Okami13)!, clearing up any confusion. They said, “Marathon will not require a PlayStation account for players on PC or Xbox Series X|S.”
However, players will need to have a Bungie account, since the game is cross-platform and supports cross-save. This isn’t much different from what you might already know if you’re a player of Destiny, as you may already have a Bungie account. In that case, there’s no need to create a new one.
Many players were concerned about the PSN requirement because, similar to PlayStation’s earlier decision with games like Helldivers 2 by Arrowhead Game Studios, which required a PSN account even for the PC version linked to Steam, Marathon could follow suit. This move sparked a backlash, with the Helldivers 2 Steam page receiving review bombs and its rating dropping sharply. However, Sony later removed the PSN requirement for PC players, improving the situation.
Remember, Marathon is a new first-person shooter from Bungie, though details are still scarce. A gameplay reveal is set for April 12, so we’ll likely learn more in just a few days’ time.
