"Marathon was the second most-wishlisted game during Next Fest, with over 200,000 players adding it to their own wishlists. It now sits at around 1.2 million total wishlists on Steam. The open beta was also the most-played Next Fest demo."
"As of March 2, three days before launch, Alinea Insight estimates Marathon had sold just under 250,000 copies on Steam. Three days before Arc Raiders had launched, it had sold around 550,000 copies, more than double Marathon."
Marathon's open beta generated strong engagement during Steam's Next Fest, becoming the second most-wishlisted game with over 200,000 players adding it to wishlists, accumulating 1.2 million total wishlists. The beta was also the most-played Next Fest demo. However, pre-launch sales figures reveal a different picture: Marathon had sold approximately 250,000 copies three days before launch, compared to Arc Raiders' 550,000 copies at the same point before its launch. This significant gap suggests Marathon may face competitive challenges at launch. Notably, only 48 percent of Steam players who participated in Marathon's open beta also played Arc Raiders, indicating distinct player bases between the two extraction shooters.
