If you want to play the new shooter marathon on your PC, you can now deal with the system requirements for the first time.
Bungie has confirmed system requirements for the recently newly presented extraction shooter marathon for the first time. These initially apply to the upcoming closed alpha test phase, so they are initially relevant for participants in the test phase in the near future. It can be assumed that the system requirements will decrease until the start of the final game version, because developers usually make optimizations in terms of performance until the end.
Already now at Closed Alpha can be stated: Marathon does not necessarily require a hardcore calculator to be played. The minimal requirements are moderate.
