Bungie is now accepting applications for the Marathon Closed Technical Test, inviting players to sign up for early testing. The announcement asks interested players to apply through Bungie’s official article and application page. If you want in, that is where to start. Beyond the call for applicants, Bungie’s post provides details about eligibility, dates, and platforms, so check it for the full information.

CLOSED TECHNICAL TEST APPLICATION

Fill out this form between now and October 16 at 4 PM (PT) to submit your application. If you previously applied for public Alpha in April, the form may be automatically submitted; no further action will be needed if this happens. For players on PC, we’ll also be enabling applications via Steam on October 13 at 10 AM (PT), and they’ll remain open until October 26 at 4 PM (PT).

This is an essential checkpoint for us as we test our improvements since Alpha, including three maps, five runner shells, prox chat, re-tuned combat pacing, solo queue, deeper environmental storytelling, and more. That said, the Technical Test build is a work in progress and will only include a portion of what’s planned for Marathon’s full release, focused on the early player experience.

CLOSED TECHNICAL TEST SIGNUP FAQ

    • The Closed Technical Test will run from October 22 at 10AM PT, to October 27 at 6PM PT.
