PlayStation’s Focus on Live Service Experiences for PS5
PlayStation has been emphasizing the importance of offering unique live service experiences for the PS5. However, following the Concord erasure of 2024, fans are curious about Sony Interactive Entertainment’s future plans and the pricing strategy for these games, with a set price of $40.
What to Expect from Marathon PS5 Price
Bungie’s highly anticipated PvP extraction shooter, Marathon, is rumored to be priced at $40, as reported by The Game Post. Sources suggest that Bungie is leaning towards a pay-to-play premium model rather than opting for a free-to-play approach. Discussions regarding the pricing strategy likely took place after the closure of Concord.
Given Bungie’s track record with successful premium live service games like Destiny and Destiny 2, the decision to price Marathon at $40 is not unexpected. The studio’s reputation and experience in this area, coupled with the quality of the game, may justify the price point.
According to sources cited by The Game Post, Marathon has been undergoing playtests with internal teams, streamers, and content creators, with overall positive feedback. One source mentioned that the game feels worthwhile for its price.
Bungie is fully focused on the development of Marathon, with reports indicating a significant allocation of resources towards its release. The studio made changes to its leadership, appointing Joe Ziegler as the new game director, signaling a strong commitment to the project.
Additionally, Bungie is simultaneously working on two new expansions for Destiny 2, with “Codename: Apollo” set to bring a fresh perspective to the popular first-person shooter franchise.
While an official release date for Marathon has not been announced, speculations point to a potential launch in 2025.
