Bungie’s long-awaited extraction shooter has finally been unveiled, and it will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. While PlayStation and Xbox players will be stress-free about trying Marathon, PC players always have one question: Can your PC run it? Unlike most current-generation games, Marathon’s system requirements are relatively low.
Below, we have listed the minimum and recommended system requirements for Marathon. While the minimum is already mentioned on Marathon’s official support page, we have speculated the recommended PC specs from the information shared by testers. So, without further ado, check them out below!
Marathon Minimum System Requirements
- Processor: Intel Core i5-6600 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB) / AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT (4 GB) / Intel Arc A580 (8 GB)
- Video Memory (VRAM): 4 GB
- Storage: 60 GB HDD
- DirectX: DirectX 12 with Feature Level 12_1 support
- Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit (latest Service Pack)
Marathon Recommended System Requirements
- Processor: Intel Core i5-11400F / AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (6 GB) / AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (6 GB)
- Video Memory (VRAM): 6 GB
- Storage: 60 GB SSD
- DirectX: DirectX 12 with Feature Level 12_1 support
- Operating System: Windows 11 64-bit (latest Service Pack)
The official Marathon alpha test specs sheet suggested that only 6 GB of storage was required for the testing. While there is no confirmation of the final size, we can estimate a file size. Since Destiny 2 requires 100+ GB of storage, we can speculate that Marathon’s install size will be closer to 50 GB.
So, if you have a good SSD, ensure you have 60 GB of storage space. We will update these numbers when Bungie officially announces the file size for Marathon.
Moreover, you will need a solid internet connection to download and play the game. Keep in mind that Bungie’s Marathon is a PVP extraction shooter. This means you must have constant connectivity to the internet. We suggest you use Ethernet for loss-free gameplay.
Although most modern games demand high-level system requirements, Marathon seems highly optimized. While you would expect alpha builds to be less optimized, Bungie shared a minimum PC requirements sheet that requires as little as 4 GB VRAM and 8 GB RAM. While we cannot estimate the performance, trusting Bungie usually doesn’t end badly.
