Fans need not worry: the next-generation Xbox console will support backward compatibility at a hardware level.
Marathon was slated to launch on Sept. 23, 2025 across Xbox, PC, and PlayStation, but Bungie will share the new release date in the fall.
It will lessen though and possibly make all the difference if it launches in a state that rectified a lot of the issues people had with it. A LOT of ifs of course.
If you really gotta play ... play the better extraction shooter this year : ARC Raiders
They can't cancel it until a themed controller has been released first... like concord.
If they were absolutely certain about the quality of Marathon, then they had not delayed it just now.
So they've basically just confirmed what everyone, well, a lot of people saw: Marathon is not ready yet, still no soul to be seen.
"Doubling down on the Marathon Universe"
They're doubling down on soul, thank goodness this feedback illuminated that for them...
and N4G was littered with comments like : Marathon looks really good, maybe you're a hater and the likes blah blah ... especially under articles which compared it with Arc Raiders ....
Game Rant Writes "FBC: Firebreak is a big swing for Remedy Entertainment that's definitely worthy of a few cheers."
The voice actors for Arthur Morgan and Charles Smith have vaguely confirmed a claim by Rob Wiethoff (voice of John Marston) that big news related to the Red Dead franchise will be coming "before Friday."
I hope it's a remake of the 1st game. But it's probably just the PS5 version of Red Dead Redemption 2
I hope a PS5 upgrade launches on the same day as announcement & it costs no more than $10. I already bought the Ultimate Edition once, they got good money from me.
I stopped playing completely 2 years ago until they did 60fps. I really didn't expect it would take this long & I didn't want to start completely over on PC.
My wish is that its optimized for current gen machines, with some sort of story expansion. Undead nightmare 2! My 2nd wish is that it just shadow drops on the day of the announcement!.
I´m not worried at all!!!
Just bring it!!!!
Its gonna have to offer a lot more than backwards compatibility or else it'll just be a repeat of the last 2 generations.
I’m just not that excited for “next gen” consoles. Gaming has officially hit the phone model market. Base release, pro release, sequel. And you can even argue that the sequel for some is just a pro release.
Switch 2 is a switch pro. Xbox next will be the Xbox pro(if you don’t already consider the X as the pro since the s is the dominate on their market share).
I am pretty sure I can wait until ps6 pro at this point because my ps5 pro and base will play everything they will get with the exception of 1 or 2 games in the first year.
Day 1 for me, 22 years with xbox and besides the 360 debacle, never let me down, also saved tons of money.
Every time one of these “well, obviously” statements pops up like in article form, I wonder who it’s even for. Then I check the comments and remember, console players, proudly lost in the settings menu, still trying to figure out what HDR is.
And suddenly, those "articles" make perfect sense
