Sony Won’t Force PSN on Xbox, PC Players of Marathon

by

The marathon marks the initial significant launch by Bungie following its acquisition by Sony, making it an exciting milestone for both entities involved.

Despite achieving significant success for its developer, Helldivers 2 continues its pursuit of the elusive live service jackpot. With Bungie, the team behind Halo and Destiny, at the helm of the newest and most advanced project, this could prove to be an unparalleled opportunity to strike gold in the live service realm.

Importantly, the upcoming game, scheduled for a major reveal in a few days, will be playable simultaneously on Xbox Series X|S and PC from its release date. Just like Sony has consistently maintained, they won’t restrict this developer’s games to exclusivity.

This has sparked discussions as to whether playing the game on other systems might necessitate a PlayStation Network account.

However, Bungie has been quick to quell rumors, affirming on Discord that their game will not necessitate PlayStation Network for play on Xbox or PC.

Since the game offers cross-platform play with cross-save functionality, you’ll still require a Bungie account. This might not significantly alter the experience for those uncomfortable with providing an email address. However, it may help prevent negative reviews from overwhelming the launch.

In summary, since Sony is the owner of Bungie, they are able to track your game progress no matter if you’re playing via PlayStation Network (PSN) or through any of their individual accounts.
