Sometimes, though, the gaming giant isn&#8217;t offering the best possible price. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">On Steam, Bungie\u2019s latest live action release, Marathon, has dropped to $23.99. However, digital game stores like Fanatical and GMG are also running fall sales, and it just so happens that the former has Marathon Steam codes for even cheaper, at $19.99. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">According to price trackers, that\u2019s a lower price than the game has ever been on the U.S. side of Steam. Regardless of your feelings about the hardcore extraction shooter, it\u2019s hard to argue with that being a good deal. <\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Marathon on PC Drops Under $20 at Fanatical<\/h2>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Fanatical is a UK-based e-commerce platform under the Fandom umbrella. It\u2019s one of our go-to storefronts for digital game deals, so you can rest assured you\u2019re paying for something legit. And yes, it\u2019s a Steam code, not some wacky third-party launcher situation. <\/p>\n<div id=\"243492\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\"><span data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"243492\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-303513100 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Marathon (PC)\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/this-fanatical-deal-drops-marathon-on-pc-to-19-39-cheaper-than-steams-autumn-sale.jpg\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"product-badge jsx-3056253127 jsx-1233459104\">\n<p>STEAM CODE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">Marathon (PC)<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3027214138 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\" disabled><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>1<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As for Marathon itself, well, the game\u2019s been through a lot. The first couple of trailers picked up some buzz on social media, but a troubled alpha test and plagiarism allegations led to some delays. A little thing called Arc Raiders launched during that delay, creating even more competition in the multiplayer shooter space. Still, Marathon reworked some assets, and Bungie launched the game this past March. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While Marathon has faced challenges building a massive player base, the fans it does have are particularly dedicated. That dedication is likely owing to the shooter\u2019s emphasis on hardcore gameplay and community, though the developers have recently outlined their plans to make the game more accessible with future updates, like a PVE mode. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">I\u2019ve put my fair share of time into the game and can attest to the difficulty allegations. There\u2019s something addicting about that learning curve, though, especially with the loot and progression systems. At the end of the day, you get fresh Bungie gunplay in a disgustingly stylish world. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">I think IGN\u2019s Travis Northup said it best in his 9\/10 review: \u201cMarathon is unapproachable, unforgiving, offputtingly creepy, and has a playerbase of violent goblins who exist solely to bash your face in with a brick, and for all of these reasons it&#8217;s become my favorite extraction shooter of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">There Are a Ridiculous Amount of Gaming Deals Right Now <\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For whatever reason, we\u2019re in prime deals season right now. Aside from Steam, Fanatical, and GMG, Amazon has a whole Prime Day sale going on right now, which obviously prompted competing sales from Best Buy and Walmart. We\u2019ve been rounding up all of the best gaming deals, but it\u2019s worth clicking around for anything on your wishlist. <\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-1730475047 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Blythe Dujardin Avatar\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/this-fanatical-deal-drops-marathon-on-pc-to-19-39-cheaper-than-steams-autumn-sale-1.jpg\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Blythe (she\/her) is an Audience Development Coordinator at IGN who spends way too much time in character customization screens and tracking down collectibles. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"media_block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/this-fanatical-deal-drops-marathon-on-pc-to-19-39-cheaper-than-steams-autumn-sale-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/this-fanatical-deal-drops-marathon-on-pc-to-19-39-cheaper-than-steams-autumn-sale-2.jpg\" class=\"media_thumbnail\"><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"media_block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/this-fanatical-deal-drops-marathon-on-pc-to-19-39-cheaper-than-steams-autumn-sale-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/this-fanatical-deal-drops-marathon-on-pc-to-19-39-cheaper-than-steams-autumn-sale-2.jpg\" class=\"media_thumbnail\"><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15139,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[50],"class_list":["post-15138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-49","tag-50"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15138"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15138\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15140,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15138\/revisions\/15140"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
