The highly anticipated reveal trailer for Marathon is just around the corner. Thanks to various online sources, we’ve learned that an Alpha testing phase for the game is imminent, with access keys expected to be distributed very soon.
This information was shared by multiple content creators and the official Marathon Discord, where Bungie plans to launch a registration process for Alpha codes both within Discord and across other platforms.
If you’re not up-to-date, miss the upcoming reveal, or don’t follow creators distributing codes, you might be wondering how to secure one. Let’s break it down for you.
How to Sign Up for the Marathon Alpha
The majority of Alpha codes will likely be distributed by various streamers on platforms like Twitch and YouTube during the reveal stream. If you miss your chance with a particular content creator or the live event itself, there are alternative methods to register for the Alpha.
The official Marathon Discord has announced plans to release a link for Alpha access after the reveal presentation on April 12. This link will provide an opportunity to be selected for the game’s closed Alpha playtest, but note that access will be randomized and not guaranteed.

Currently, these two options appear to be the only ways to sign up for the Alpha. The game is set to release on September 23, coinciding with the launch of Borderlands 4.
How to Redeem Your Marathon Alpha Code
Instead of traditional codes, successful sign-up participants will receive a link directing them to the registration page. It’s important to fill in your details promptly, as the link will expire once you complete the signup process.
While specific details about the Alpha remain sparse, we do know that it is scheduled to begin on April 23 and will initially be exclusive to North America. The duration of the gameplay test and whether players can share footage remains unconfirmed. We will update this article with any new information as it becomes available.
