Sometimes the early signals before a game’s launch reveal just how much anticipation has built around it. That appears to be the case for Marathon, which has already climbed to the top of the sales charts ahead of its official release.
According to the latest Steam Top Sellers ranking, Marathon is currently the 1st in the United States and the 2nd globally, even before its March 5 launch. The strong chart position suggests that pre-orders and early player interest are driving significant momentum for the upcoming title.
The new shooter from Bungie has been generating attention since its reveal, especially due to its extraction-shooter gameplay and distinctive sci-fi aesthetic. As anticipation builds, the game is already outperforming several major titles on the chart, including Counter-Strike 2, Resident Evil Requiem, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege.
While the rankings may still shift closer to release, the current numbers indicate that Marathon could be one of the most significant multiplayer launches of the month. Strong early sales often reflect both player curiosity and confidence in the studio behind the project.
With the launch date just around the corner, the big question now is whether Marathon can maintain this momentum once players finally jump into the game on March 5.
