Marathon has been released, and the classic series is free on Steam.

The gaming world is buzzing with the arrival of the new Marathon, but true fans know that you can’t fully appreciate the future without revisiting the shadows of the past.

Originally developed by Bungie in the 90s, the Marathon trilogy didn't just push the boundaries of the Mac gaming scene — it redefined what a First-Person Shooter could be, introducing dual-wielding, complex verticality, and a deep, terminal-based narrative that still haunts players today.

The Classics are Calling (And they’re FREE)

To celebrate the legacy, the community-led Aleph One project has brought these icons to Steam, and you can play them right now for zero dollars:

• Marathon (1994): Where the mystery of the UESC Marathon begins.

• Marathon 2: Durandal (1995): Escape the ship and take the fight to the Pfhor home world.

• Marathon Infinity (1996): The mind-bending conclusion involving alternate realities and time travel.
