Marathon Season 2 Free Trial Launched to 40,000 Players and a Server Crash

Marathon Season 2: Nightfall went live June 2, 2026, free to play through June 9 on PS5, Xbox Series, and Steam. The update brought a new nighttime map, overhauled progression, and a survival horror-inflected mode. Within hours of launch, Bungie reported waves of Weasel and Anteater connection errors that locked most players out. By 7 p.m. ET, servers went offline. By midnight June 3, servers were back and Bungie issued sponsored kit packs to affected players. Steam peaked at 40,000 concurrent players after restoration, a real jump but still well below the game's 88,000 all-time peak from launch.
