Marathon Extends Open Play Week and Adjusts Progression Costs
Bungie is extending Marathon's Open Play Week until June 11 and gifting 50 SILK to all players who log in. The update also rolls out economy fixes, addresses store pricing errors for the Deluxe Edition, and issues a fresh ban wave for cheaters.
Marathon's Open Play Week has been extended through June 11, accompanied by a 50 SILK login bonus delivered via the in-game mailbox to compensate for recent downtime. Bungie is also adjusting progression costs and targeting cheaters with a new ban wave.
Open Play Extension and Login Rewards
The Open Play period now runs until June 11 at 10 AM PT. Everyone who logs in during this timeframe will receive 50 SILK to offset previous disruptions. The currency can be claimed via the in-game mailbox before the event concludes.
Progression and Economy Adjusts
Bungie has adjusted progression systems to balance the loot economy. Cert container spawn rates in Night Marsh have been corrected to prevent unintended over-spawning. Meanwhile, progression costs for the Cradle have been raised by 25% to account for higher loot quality and quantity.
PlayStation Store Deluxe Edition Clarification
Players who added Marathon to their library during Open Play could previously purchase the Deluxe Edition at a reduced price without owning the base game. Bungie updated store messaging to clarify that this purchase method excludes the base game. Players who made this purchase prior to the notice will receive the base edition at no extra cost. Future purchasers who only downloaded the trial version will need to buy the base game separately once the event ends.
Security and Enforcement
A ban wave has been executed against confirmed cheaters. Bungie reminded the community that players who knowingly benefit from cheating or continue playing alongside cheaters face account actions up to a full game ban.
Why this patch matters
This update acts as a bridge for the extended play test, correcting store miscommunications, rebalancing early-season progression speed, and cracking down on prohibited behavior.
