Apply Now: Marathon Closed Technical Test
[p][/p][p]Since June, we’ve run several closed playtests to gather feedback on Marathon. We’re now opening applications for more players to join us for a Closed Technical Test from October 22 to October 28. This is a limited, invite-only playtest for players in North America and Europe on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. As with recent closed playtests, this test is under NDA.[/p][p][/p][p]CLOSED TECHNICAL TEST APPLICATION[/p][p][/p][p]Fill out this form between now and October 16 at 4 PM (PT) to submit your application. If you previously applied for public Alpha from April, the form may automatically submit; no further action will be needed if this happens.[/p][p]For players on PC, we’ll also be enabling applications via Steam on October 13 at 10 AM (PT), and they’ll remain open until October 26 at 4 PM (PT).[/p][p]This is an important checkpoint for us as we test our improvements since Alpha, including three maps, five runner shells, prox chat, re-tuned combat pacing, solo queue, deeper environmental storytelling, and more. That said, the Technical Test build is a work in progress and will only include a portion of what’s planned for Marathon’s full release, focused on the early player experience.[/p][p]We’ll be sharing a public update on Marathon's development in the coming months after the Closed Technical Test![/p][p] [/p][p]CLOSED TECHNICAL TEST SIGNUP FAQ[/p][p] How long will the Closed Technical Test run?[/p]
