Bungie's Bold New Playtest Offer!

Exciting news for gamers! Bungie is ramping up its testing of the highly-anticipated game, 'Marathon,' and this time, they're pulling out all the stops. After facing backlash from a poorly received Closed Alpha earlier this year, Bungie is seeking a select group of testers for a comprehensive month-long playtest.

Earn Cash While Playing!

Here’s the enticing deal: If you qualify, you could earn *$500* just for playing! Select participants will need to log on daily for at least one hour during designated time slots—3 PM to 7 PM PST on weekdays and 2 PM to 8 PM PST on weekends. Complete these requirements, and you’ll be rewarded at the end of the month!

The Invitation Details!

An invitation email revealed, \"We appreciate your past participation in our Monthly Closed Playtests. We would like to invite you to our 30-day user research study for Marathon, running from September 8 to October 7.\" There's also a daily and weekly survey for feedback, making your voice heard in the game's development!

Exclusivity and Requirements!

However, this opportunity isn’t open to everyone. Only those who participated in previous Closed Playtests can apply, so you can’t just jump in now. Although the idea of playing for $500 sounds fantastic, it'll require discipline to meet daily playing slots to secure the full payment.

The Game's Delayed Launch!

Interestingly, this test aligns with Marathon's originally planned release date of September 23. Following its rocky debut and external controversies, the game’s launch was postponed indefinitely. Sony aims for a release by March 31, 2026, though without a set date unveiled yet.

Looking Ahead!

Expect more updates this fall, including a potential new launch date and plans for more open playtests as the development team moves towards lifting the veil on Marathon. With the stakes high, Bungie is keen to ensure a polished experience before launching the game to the broader public.

So, are you ready to play and earn? Don't miss your chance—if you're eligible, this could be your opportunity to dive deep into 'Marathon' while getting paid!
