Marathon players thought they bought the full game for $14 but will lose access to the base game after the free week. During Marathon’s free-play week, some PlayStation players noticed they could purchase the Deluxe Edition for $14 after claiming the free trial, so they bought it thinking it was the full price. However, the $14 purchase only included the Deluxe Edition extras, such as the Premium Rewards Pass, tokens, cosmetics, and other bonus content. Because the free trial was active, the PS Store treated those accounts as if they already owned the base game and charged only for the upgrade. When the free-play week ends on June 9, anyone who only claimed the trial will lose access to Marathon unless they purchase the base game separately. Sony has since corrected the pricing issue, removed the $14 offer from the PlayStation Store, and some people are getting refunds.

Marathon is going free-to-play for one week from June 2–9 alongside the launch of Season 2: Nightfall. Players on will be able to play the full game for free during the event, with progress carrying over if they decide to buy it later. The update also adds: - A new Night Marsh zone - PvE-focused modes - Matchmaking improvements - Vault/system updates A lot of people are seeing this as Bungie trying to bring players back after the game has been losing most of its players and declining interest since launch. Offering a full free week will surely get them some players, but idk man, I feel like the game is done.

Marathon is getting review-bombed after Bungie announced that Destiny 2 will stop getting major content updates after the June release. Bungie will also do layoffs according to Bloomberg. Many longtime Destiny players seem to be using Marathon’s review page to share frustration with Bungie over the future of Destiny 2. Marathon could be the next target from Sony if they don't meet their expectations.
