I've opened up a Discord server for Marathon players! I'm really proud of it.
It's called Colony Ship For Sale, Cheap.
It's themed like the codex entries in-game, and it's set up to be a space where Runnners of all skill levels can group up and learn from each other. We love running free kits as much as we love stacking up for Cryo Archive.
Free week players are encouraged to join, too! Let us show you why we love Marathon!
Server invite link is in replies if you'd like a low-key place to play!
@SpookyElk15@SavinTheBees hell yea, definitely try it out this week!
I play solo often, as well as crew fill with no mic, and people are often very helpful/friendly.
@ZeromuSPlays@dillonatm what’s the risk/reward playing the game at all once you have a loadout you like? I will play Cryo and other maps because they are fun, and will probably rotate my focus.
plus we don’t know how the maps or playlists will change as the season goes on.
guys, day 1 of season 1 had:
- No Outpost
- no Cryo
- no Narsh
- Server Slam rewards
Part of the early fun was figuring out everything about the game. This go around we only have 1 new map to explore, and yeah it has juiced loot, but weren't we complaining that Pinwheel loot was trash last go around? give it some time
@Ag0at@CoolRunnerCraig This, this right here. The game is so fun when it’s social. I loaded into Cryo my first match last week, and one of my rando trios goes, “Saddle up, fellas. I’m taking you to Compiler!” We ran it, took down teams, almost Compiler, exfil’d, coolest experience, total vibe👏
@2GRIM4U fair, I meant it was janky for a while, then shut down for a few hours. I only got disconnected a couple times tho, got to level 11 before then.
I’m sure it was worse for some people. hope they take the free kits and play more this weekend!
I promise the servers being janky and getting fixed after a few hours is not some huge fumble.
maybe they extend the free play week a bit. that plus free kits is a nice mea culpa. lets collectively say “that was annoying” and go back to having fun.
PSA for the Marathon community:
the game speaks for itself. show your friends, share fun clips, and run with strangers! this week is a great chance for new players to join the fun.
(just keep an eye on the shadows, something creeps around Night Marsh…)
New to Marathon? We've summarized the game loop to help you find your footing in your first few runs.

@Niceguydan8@LG1T and I think that is way overdramatic. per usual with gaming discourse online.
the reality is people that are on the fence still have plenty of time to try the game and buy it.
@Max_love55 it’s an extraction game, I’m glad they don’t gatekeep good loot. and it’s level based matchmaking, the people farming Complex will be playing against each other. it’s a good thing.
@Max_love55 the hype is not nearly as big as the community imagines lol. we need to ignore steam watchers.
I have no problem with Night Marsh being rewarding, jump start the season, because people still need to level up factions to buy and barter the best gear. blue gear is nothing crazy.
