Summary
This past weekend, Bungie finally revealed its years-in-the-making project, as the studio showed off Marathon for the first time.
While we already know Marathon is headed to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, is the Nintendo Switch 2 also part of the release platforms planned for the extraction shooter?

Marathon Switch 2 Port Not Ruled Out
Marathon game director Joe Zielger recently spoke to Japanese gaming publication Famitsu where the developer was asked about Marathon appearing on the Switch 2.
According to Ziegler (via Pocket Tactics), “At the moment, we don’t have any plans to add additional compatible hardware, but we will consider it in the future.”
Given that the Switch 2 reveal showcased AAA games like Elden Ring running on the console, horsepower might not be a deterrent, though we can’t say for certain. That said, Zielger’s omission of technical limitations as the cause is a good sign that the door for a Marathon Switch 2 port isn’t closed yet.
Thankfully, Marathon is confirmed to support crossplay and cross-progression, so if the title ever comes to Switch 2, and someone wants to jump to the platform, they can just carry over their progress.

Following a recent delay, Nintendo has revealed information on the new pre-order invitation dates for the Nintendo Switch 2.
If you want to try Marathon early, the closed alpha test is set to kick off on April 23, and the PC requirements to run it have been revealed today.
While the Switch 2’s release has been announced for June 5, the latest rumor points to GameStop stock being quite limited, which doesn’t bode well for those planning on snagging a unit on launch day.
Marathon is scheduled for release on September 23 on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It will be released on the same day as Borderlands 4, which should make for an interesting battle.
