Marathon Closed Alpha Goes Live a Day Early, But Not Without a Few Hiccups
Hey there, gamers! If you’re as excited as I am about the upcoming Marathon Closed Alpha, you’re probably eager to dive in and experience the action-packed extraction game for yourself. Well, it looks like some Xbox players got a head start on the fun, as the game went live a day early – but not without a few unexpected twists.
According to reports, the early access was limited to Xbox players only, and it appears that not all of them were able to get in on the action. The gameplay was also restricted to the tutorial mode, which teaches players the basics of the game and pits them against UESC bots. One of the maps featured in the tutorial is Perimeter, which hasn’t been fully revealed yet.
So, what’s the big deal about a day early? Well, for one, it’s not every day that a game goes live ahead of schedule. And two, it’s a great opportunity for Xbox players to get a sneak peek at the game before the official launch. But, as we’ll see, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
As you might expect, there are some quirks and bugs that have popped up in the early access. For instance, some players have reported seeing weird poses for heroes in the selection screen, and others have experienced long load times – even when they’re not actually connected to a real game. It’s unclear whether these issues are widespread or just isolated incidents.
On the other hand, there are some positive signs. For example, at least three streams are currently playing the tutorial on Xbox, which suggests that the early access is not limited to a select few. And, of course, there’s the excitement of getting to play the game a day early – even if it’s just the tutorial.
What’s Next?
So, what happens now? Will Bungie leave the early access open, or will they shut it down and wait until the official launch? As of this writing, it seems that Xbox access has been nuked, and the fun is over until tomorrow. But don’t worry – we’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.
Actionable Insights
If you’re an Xbox player with a code, don’t miss your chance to get in on the action. Even if it’s just the tutorial, it’s a great opportunity to get a feel for the game and see what all the fuss is about. Just be aware that there may be some bugs and quirks to navigate.
For everyone else, keep an eye on your email and social media for updates on the official launch. And who knows – maybe we’ll get a sneak peek at the full game before it’s released to the public.
Summary
In conclusion, the Marathon Closed Alpha has gone live a day early, but not without a few hiccups. Xbox players got a head start on the action, but it’s unclear whether the early access will continue or be shut down. As we wait for more information, we’ll keep you updated on any developments.
