Thanks for playing in the Server Slam!

Thank you to everyone who came out to play in the Server Slam this weekend and helped stress test the servers for launch. We appreciate all your feedback and bug reports, and we’ll share some of our key learnings from the Slam soon.

In the meantime, here’s a look at some community stats from the preview weekend. Drop by our socials if you’d like to see more.

Server Slam Rewards on Launch Day

When Marathon launches on March 5, we’ll rollout the rewards you secured during the Server Slam . It will take some time for them to make it to everyone’s in-game  Mailboxes, so if you don’t see them upon logging in hold tight—they should arrive soon.

This includes your cosmetic rewards (Complex Study emblem and Beta.exe background) as well as your Arrival Cache of loot based on your progression during the Server Slam. Head here if you’d like a reminder of what’s in each tier of Arrival Caches.

Note that your Server Slam rewards will expire if you don’t login to claim them before the end of Season 1. So if you played during the Server Slam, but do not log into Marathon before Season 1 ends, you won't receive your rewards.

If you tuned in to Marathon on Twitch and secured Twitch Drops, your rewards will be granted to your Bungie.net profile and delivered in-game* at launch on March 5. The Twitch Sponsored Kit may take up to 48 hours to arrive in your in-game Mailbox and must be redeemed by March 31.

 
Prepare for March 5

Thank you again for participating in the Server Slam. Whether you tried to go for safe runs or were out for blood as Arachne acolytes, we hope your first hours in Marathon were as fun as they were lethal. 

The Server Slam was only a slice of Marathon’s gameplay and progression. Launch will bring the full faction and contract progression, all six launch Runner shells (including Thief), and three zones (including Outpost). The end-game zone, Cryo Archive, on the UESC Marathon ship and Ranked mode are also coming during Season 1, along with other surprises. 

Marathon launches on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Serries X|S, on March 5.
