On March 5, after an extended development cycle and delay, Bungie’s sci-fi extraction shooter Marathon launched on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. There are some questionable microtransactions in the game’s store and some players on PC are reporting performance issues, but for the most part, the launch has been fairly stable. I was able to get in and play a few runs without issue. But when some players booted up Marathon on Thursday, they discovered loot they had shared with teammates back in the beta was waiting for them in their in-game inbox.
