New details surrounding Marathon have sparked discussion in the gaming community, as a recent rating board listing hints that the upcoming shooter might also arrive on older consoles.
According to a report from Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), the game’s classification includes PlayStation 4 and Xbox One among its platforms. This detail has raised eyebrows, since Bungie previously announced the title for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The unexpected appearance of last-generation consoles in the listing has led some players to believe that Bungie may still be considering broader platform support. Expanding to PS4 and Xbox One could significantly increase the potential player base, especially given the large install base those consoles still have worldwide.
However, it’s also possible that the listing doesn’t reflect a final decision. Rating boards sometimes include placeholder information or early platform data before official confirmations are made by developers.
With Marathon already generating strong interest ahead of launch, many players are now waiting to see whether Bungie will clarify the situation. Could Marathon actually launch on last-gen consoles, or is the ESRB listing simply an error? Share your thoughts and make sure to stay tuned to VGNW.
