Is Marathon on Game Pass or PS Plus?
Marathon is a paid title (from $39.99) and is not included in any subscription catalogue (Game Pass, PC Game Pass, PS Plus Extra/Premium, or EA Play). Because it is online-only, on PS5 a PlayStation Plus subscription (any tier, Essential and up) is required to play online, and on Xbox Series X|S an Xbox Game Pass Core membership is required for online play — these subs are required to play, not a way to get the game for free. (Bungie did run limited free-access windows, e.g. a June 2026 Open Play Week that waived PS Plus.)

As a Sony-owned Bungie premium release, Marathon is bought outright rather than offered through a subscription. Note that unlike Destiny 2, the paid version does gate online play behind PS Plus / Game Pass Core per current reporting.
