Price Reduction on Bungie’s Limited Edition Marathon Controller at Major Retailers

The limited-edition Marathon DualSense controller from Bungie has seen a surprising price decrease much sooner than anticipated, and it's quite substantial. Just a few weeks post-launch, the PS5 controller has been reduced by 18%, now available for $69.68 at both Amazon and Walmart, marking a new low for this design. This controller is themed around Marathon, Bungie's latest extraction shooter. In conjunction with the game's release, Sony introduced a selection of themed PS5 accessories in March, prominently featuring this special edition DualSense. In terms of design, it maintains a more understated aesthetic compared to many limited-edition controllers. The base is the familiar white shell typical of a DualSense, adorned with black and neon green Marathon motifs along the grips and touchpad. On the reverse side, the game's logo is elegantly stamped in neon lettering, striking a balance between subtlety and visibility, making it a noteworthy piece for collectors. While the enhancements are purely cosmetic, the current price places it much closer to the standard DualSense controllers, making this limited-edition option much more appealing than it was during its initial launch. Recently, Bungie rolled out the 1.0.6 Patch update for Marathon, emphasizing a friendly gaming environment along with numerous gameplay adjustments. Early feedback suggests that Bungie's efforts to make Marathon more accessible are yielding positive results since the update.
