How to get into the Marathon closed alpha playtest

The Marathon reveal trailer is fast approaching but thanks to the internet, we know there will be some kind of Alpha for the game, with keys being given away for it quite soon.

The news comes from various creators and the Marathon Discord, where Bungie will have a signup for the alpha codes in some way on the official Discord, and in other places as well.

But if you are out of the loop, miss the upcoming reveal stream, or don’t watch a creator that has codes—where can you get them? Well, let’s run you through it.

How to sign up for the Marathon alpha

It appears as though a vast majority of codes will be given out by various creators on Twitch and YouTube, with the content creators deciding how to give out the codes during the reveal stream. If you fail to find a creator giving out codes or miss the reveal stream, then there are other ways to sign up as well.

The Marathon official Discord has also announced that they plan to share a link on Discord sometime after the presentation on April 12, which will be a chance to be selected for the game’s closed alpha playtest. It appears that using this method does not guarantee access, and it will be down to RNG for you to be chosen for it.

You can join the Discord server by clicking the link here.

Outside of these two methods, nothing else appears to be available when it comes to alpha signups. The game was revealed to be coming out on Sept. 23 though, which means its coming out the same day as Borderlands 4.

Where to redeem your Marathon alpha code

There are no codes per say and instead, you’ll be given a link that will take you to the sign up page. Once you sign up that link will expire, so make sure you take your time inputting your details.

Not a lot of information about the alpha has been announced as of yet though, but we do know it’ll start on April 23, and that it’ll only be for North America for now— but we don’t know how long it’ll last, and if anyone will be able to share gameplay. As such, as those details are revealed and information comes out, we shall update this article in due course.
