After drumming up a decent amount of excitement in the final months before launch (a stark contrast to the skepticism it was met with after playtests last year) Marathon has burst onto the extraction shooter scene with plenty of glowing endorsements. However, while we don't officially know what constitutes a success in Bungie and Sony's eyes, it's not drawing in the same kind of crowds as Arc Raiders does, for example. A launch day peak of 88,000 players on Steam alone was a solid showing, but things have been steadily dropping off since. A week on from the big day, and Marathon has slipped outside of the top 50 most-played games on Valve's platform.
