Potato rigs rejoice because Bungie just dropped specs that run on ancient toasters. The studio updated its Steam storefront to confirm that Marathon functions on hardware from nearly a decade back. Entry-level configurations list the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT as the graphics baseline. Even the Intel ARC A580 makes the cut despite arriving much later.

This low bar ensures the extraction shooter remains accessible to the widest possible audience. Builders only need eight gigabytes of memory alongside an Intel Core i5-6600 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 to participate. Those wanting higher fidelity should pack sixteen gigabytes of RAM paired with a GeForce GTX 2060 or Radeon RX 5700 XT.

Developers clearly maintained the optimization philosophy seen in Destiny 2. This extraction shooter utilizes an evolved Tiger engine, which explains why the hardware demands feel incredibly forgiving. The studio seemingly prioritizes player count over pushing graphical boundaries to the absolute limit.

These lightweight demands instantly sparked theories about a Nintendo Switch 2 port. That handheld theoretically possesses enough juice to handle the workload since it supports NVIDIA DLSS scaling features absent in older desktop cards. Game Director Joe Ziegler addressed this topic with Famitsu recently. He stated that the team currently lacks specific roadmap plans for additional platforms, but might consider expanding later.
