@Pirat_Nation People are really gonna sleep on the best game Bungie made since Halo imo.

Marathon is cooked Paul Tassi (Forbes): "I can confirm Marathon's budget is over $200m. Likely over $250m. This does not include ongoing costs for maintenance or new content" >About two weeks ago, analyst firm Alinea estimated that Marathon had sold around 1.2 million copies across all platforms. I confirmed with my Bungie sources that was close to accurate. Marathon had previously hit #2 on the Steam revenue chart ahead of launch. >Also near-accurate is a 478K daily active user count in its first weekend, though that dropped to 345K more recently. That data is two weeks old, however. >As I previously reported, the majority of Marathon’s playerbase is on Steam, as confirmed by my sources. Alinea reports it as 70% >Marathon did not chart inside Steam’s top 10 at launch. It released with an 88,337 concurrent peak on its largest platform. That is a drop from the 143,621 peak during the free server slam (the game is now $40). >Since launch just over a month ago, those peaks have dropped by 68%, where the game most recently hit a 27,670 peak at the time of this writing. >Marathon is now the 106th most-played game on Xbox. I do not have full PS5 data, though it did chart on its top 10 list at launch. Marathon is 78th in daily active users on Steam at the time of this writing, 82nd in top sellers.

@screentime It's the best game they released and people for some reason are sleeping on it 😭

Bungie's Marathon had a budget of over $200 million via: Forbes

@MintBlitz Best game I've played this year so far.

After one week. How do you feel about Bungie's Marathon?

@klobrille Still my Game of the Year for 2023

@RockEnjoyer1776 And I'm here for it 😎

Can't wait for them to be 5x the size of the originals with new bugs that you didn't know could exist.

A few days ago my father passed away. It's difficult for me to even find the words for the emptiness it leaves me with, he was my last family member in the state and I was there with him until the end. I will endure, but I don't think I'll ever be the same I love you, Pa

@charlieINTEL @billbil_kun They seriously need to END cross-gen bullshit. Its adding more dev time to make it run decent on the old consoles. Then everyone else gets a lesser experience just to cater to old shit-box consoles. Just look at BF6 after it cut off the old-gen and its waves above BF2042.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will launch on Friday, November 14th. As previously confirmed, the game will be on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Game Pass Reportedly, there'll be no Nintendo Switch 2 version (via @billbil_kun)

@urfriendnathan Yes and the hype for infinite was insane till a week after it released when everyone found out it was bare bones.

Was Halo the reason you bought an Xbox? #Halo #Xbox

@A7ZATRU Concurrent players all around? PC? Xbox? PS? I'm only asking because I want to play where the population is the highest.

A trusted source has told me Star Wars Battlefront 2 reached 164k concurrent players yesterday. That is the highest peak since December 2020. #MakeBattlefront3

@SynthPotato Feels good to be a god I guess

People who downloaded 120 GB in under an hour: How do you feel having god-like internet speeds?

@Reikon_official The Demo was great but the team needs to work on performance issues. There is a lot of stutters in both Quality and Performance mode.

@ShitpostRock Star wars outlaws imo was really good but everyone I think fell prey to its "woke" and the small clip going around of the game looking bad.

@Colteastwood Hey colt, is Avowed still one of your anticipated games for next year despite the controversy of the studio? Ps. I'm still looking forward to it

Which Game are you playing FIRST?

@WZStatsGG Black ops 6

Black Ops 6 or Modern Warfare 2019? 🤔

@Middleagegamegy @DMC_Ryan I remember Magg, this is why XNC is my go to source for anything Xbox related or gaming in general

@DMC_Ryan If you listened to XNC Podcast (LIKE YOU SHOULD!!) Colt and I reported that back in January that's EXACTLY why they're doing that and theyre being co-developed for Playstationand Xbox. Introducing great Xbox franchises to new fans on other ecosystems. Old news my friend!! Lol

This is why we're getting a Gears of War prequel instead of Gears 6. This is why we're probably gonna get a Halo 1 remake in Unreal Engine 5 or a reboot instead of H7/Halo Infinite 2. Elder Scrolls 6? If it was ever exclusive, it's probably not anymore. ign.com/articles/micro…

@MintBlitz I hope 2026 but I think that's a bit too early and with just a tech demo shown this past week, it's a 50/50. My safe bet is probably not till the end of this generation.

Place your bets on when you think the Halo Combat Evolved Remake will release My bets on Halos 25th Anniversary in 2026

@MintBlitz Remember Halo Infinite looked UNREAL too guys. It comes down to the game releasing feature complete, starting with the campaign being decent, multiplayer is done (includes all modes/features), and a good UI that's not buggy.

HALO IN UNREAL LOOKS SO GOOD??

@klobrille Does the Studio growing actually mean full-time employees or is it just contractors that'll be hired for a limited time?

A new dawn for Halo: • 343 Industries rebranded to Halo Studios • Studio is now growing • Multiple UE5-powered Halo projects now in development • Studio spent the last 2 years on “Project Foundry” – a research project to explore Halo on UE5 news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/10/…

@klobrille This is the best thing for Halo Studios (343). Slipspace engine/Infinite failed because of contractors being brought in and leaving, with most contractors barely even learning the tools in time. Unreal will help bcuz it's a common platform developers know and the ease of use

Just announced: 343 Industries is officially using Unreal Engine 5 for the next Halo game(s).

@The_Nexus_Team Yes

Do you want pre-game and post-game lobbies in the next Halo? 🧐
