Marathon launch day Steam player numbers are about half those of the Server Slam

Bungie's extraction shooter Marathon has officially launched, peaking at 88,337 concurrent players on Steam, a little over half of the 143,621 peak concurrent from its Server Slam test. The open test had offered almost all classes, two maps and many gameplay and progression systems. The game currently holds a Very Positive user review rating on Steam based on over 4,600 reviews, and the author notes the weekend may push numbers closer to the Server Slam heights.
