We are all set to get the first taste of Marathon with the coming Server Slam event, and it will have crossplay and cross-save support from the get-go.

These two features will be fundamental parts of the full game when it launches later on March 5. Let's look at how the two systems work, and how you can make the most of them on your adventures.

ensures that you can play with your buddies regardless of the platforms they're on. There will be full crossplay support between PC and console, allowing you to bridge the gap.

Crossplay will likely be turned on by default if we look at Bungie's other hit title, Destiny 2. There should be a feature to opt out of crossplay in Marathon. For that, we will need to have the full version in our hands.

Naturally, crossplay should result in quicker matchmaking since you'll be in a larger player pool. Do note that you can also opt to play with a controller on PC if you want.

How does cross-save work in Marathon

Cross-save in Marathon will enable you to transfer your progress between multiple platforms. This feature will be required if you plan to play Marathon on a PC and console interchangeably. If you connect your Bungie account with the platforms, you can enjoy shared progress. Otherwise, you'll have to grind on two separate platforms (which always feels like a chore to me).

Moreover, cross-save will also allow you to carry over your in-game purchases across platforms. This is immensely useful since buying the same cosmetic twice makes no sense at all. This also applies to all cosmetics that you unlock through in-game grind. Overall, I have really enjoyed this feature on ARC Raiders, and looking forward to it on Marathon as well.
