Marathon goes live worldwide on March 5, and you can pre-download the files on your platform in advance.

Doing so will allow you to save time when the launch actually happens. If you're short of storage space, you also get the time to erase some files that you don't need. This guide will provide you with all the important information you'll need regarding Marathon's pre-load.

How to pre-load Marathon

The pre-load system for Marathon is largely the same, but differs slightly based on the platform.

Screenshot by Destructoid As you can see from the screenshot above, the pre-load option should automatically appear on your Steam library. If you have multiple games available for pre-load, you have to choose Marathon from your in-app library manually.

This will begin the pre-load, and all you need to do is just wait for the files to be installed.

PlayStation

Open the console and choose Marathon from the main menu of the PSN store. Alternatively, you can do the same from your library. Open the game's store page, and then begin the download process. The process of download and installation is the same.

Xbox

The steps are the same as mentioned under the PlayStation section above. However, you'll also need to purchase the game first if you haven't done that. There are two editions to pick from; go for the Deluxe edition if you want bonus cosmetics to customize the looks of your weapons and runners.

All Marathon pre-load sizes

Marathon required 15 GB of data to download during Server Slam. While the full version will be *******, it's not by much. Here's approximately how much space you'll need for the pre-load.

• PlayStation: 15 GB
• Steam: 17 GB
• Xbox: 18 GB

I was certainly expecting the file sizes to be larger (given we are getting plenty more content compared to what we had in Server Slam). Hence, it's great for those of you who have a shortage of storage space on your drives.

While pre-loading it won't allow you to get in early since there's no early access, it will help you save time after the full launch.
