Bungie’s March 11, 2026, update to Marathon adds balance changes, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements across all platforms.

Bungie’s first major update for Marathon, released March 11, 2026, introduces balance tweaks and quality-of-life improvements across PS5, Xbox, and PC. Key changes include increased objective visibility to 20 meters, more med and munitions cabinets on Perimeter, higher starting ammo in select free kits, and reduced thermal scope range to discourage long-range dominance. Enemy health and UESC boss shields were slightly lowered, and the Rook class received reputation and extraction buffs, though its shotgun now requires a Matter Fixative to keep after exfil. Bug fixes address crashes, UI issues, map navigation, and incorrect pricing. The update follows strong early reception, with Bungie emphasizing responsiveness to player feedback and promising improved Battle Pass rewards in mid-April.
