Marathon Confirmed Playable On Xbox Without PSN Account

Expert Verified By

Marathon Will Be Different From Other PlayStation First-Party Titles!

Story Highlight
  • PlayStation previously implemented account restrictions for its first-party titles on other platforms.
  • Marathon breaks away from this trend and will not require a PlayStation account on Xbox or other platforms.
  • The game could still require a Bungie account for the best experience.

Bungie’s Marathon is set to receive a slew of new details later this week. The official gameplay reveal arrives on April 12, and Bungie has already started to reveal small snippets of information ahead of this date.

Among the more interesting pieces of information, the team has now confirmed that no PlayStation account will be required to play Marathon.

Why it matters: Forced account logins are becoming increasingly common for multiplayer games, so fans have been concerned about Bungie’s approach.

The latest information comes directly from Bungie developers, who confirm that Marathon will not force users to sign into PlayStation Network. Bungie has yet to confirm whether its own account will be mandatory, but players can look back on Destiny 2 for potential answers.

Destiny 2 already supports cross-play and cross-saves. The former is accessible without a Bungie.net account, though registration is necessary for cross-saves. As such, the same could be the case for Marathon.

It will also be interesting to see whether Marathon avoids PlayStation’s regional restrictions on platforms like PC. Although restrictions for first-party titles have been lifted, recent titles like The Last of Us Part 2 are still locked in unsupported regions.

The answers to all these questions and more should be revealed on April 12. Fans can also expect pricing information, with the game expected to cost $40 at release.
