Sony Addresses Bungie’s ‘Marathon’ Performance In Earnings Report

Sony said Bungie’s Marathon has kept strong retention and attracted new users after Season 2 in June.

But public Steam data suggests the active audience is much smaller than the company’s upbeat wording implies, with player counts falling back after update-driven spikes.

Sony did not report a new impairment loss tied to Bungie and made no mention of Destiny 2 in the earnings commentary.

The comments suggest Sony is still backing Marathon, making its real traction and future live-service strategy an important test case.
