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

Image via Bungie 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 link for a chance to be selected for the Closed Alpha Playtest of the game. It appears as though doing this method does not guarantee you access, and will be down to RNG for you to be chosen for it.

Outside of these two methods, nothing has been publically announced about the alpha and a lot of the information is still up in the air. We imagine most of the details will become available once the April 12 gameplay reveal showcase concludes.

Not a lot of information about the alpha has been announced as of yet though, including the dates it’ll be online, what regions can participate, 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.
