Bungie’s new extraction shooter, Marathon, just announced a new alpha for players to test. Here’s how to sign up for the Marathon alpha.
The Marathon alpha gives you a chance to play Bungie’s forthcoming extraction shooter significantly ahead of its Sept. 23 release date.
Announced during Bungie’s Marathon stream on April 12, the Marathon alpha allows you to check out four characters on two maps. Like most alpha tests, though, it also doubles as a technical stress test for the game, meaning you could run into connectivity issues and other hiccups.
Below, we’ll tell you how to sign up for the Marathon alpha, including some other information about what to expect from the alpha.Table of ContentsHow to sign up for the Marathon alpha

Update (April 18): Initially, Bungie required players to sign an NDA to get access to the Marathon alpha. However, in a blog post detailing aspects of the upcoming playtest, Bungie revealed that it is removing the NDA requirement from the alpha entirely, meaning any players who get access are free to stream or discuss the game. While you may still see the requirement when signing up, we’ve updated our guide to remove that step of the process.
