Bungie has temporarily taken Marathon servers offline to roll out Update 1.0.5, and players across all regions are experiencing login issues, queues, and downtime. If you tried to log in and couldn’t access the game, many players are facing the same issue right now.
This update introduces new content along with backend improvements, but it also comes with several hours of scheduled maintenance that affects all players.
Marathon Server Status Right Now
As of the latest update, Marathon servers are coming back online, but access may not be immediate.
- Players may face login queues
- Some users may see sign-on errors
- Background maintenance may still cause temporary instability
Bungie confirmed that services are being restored gradually after maintenance completion.
Marathon Update 1.0.5 Maintenance Schedule (US Timing)
Here’s the full breakdown of the maintenance window so you know exactly what happened:
| Time (PDT) | What Happened |
|---|---|
| 5:00 AM | Maintenance started, login disabled |
| 5:30 AM | Servers began going offline |
| ~7:00 AM | Update 1.0.5 rollout started |

During this window, players already in matches could finish their runs, but new logins were blocked.
Marathon Not Working? Common Issues and Fixes
Even after servers return, you might still run into problems. Here’s what players are reporting:
1. Login Queue Delays
High player traffic is causing wait times when logging in.
2. Error Code CAT
This usually appears if your game version is outdated. Update your game before retrying.
3. Update Not Showing
Some consoles delay updates. Restart your system or manually check for updates.
4. Connectivity Problems
If servers are live but you still can’t connect:
- Restart your router
- Clear console cache
- Check your internet stability
These are standard post-maintenance issues and should stabilize quickly.
How to Check Marathon Server Status
If you’re unsure whether the issue is on your end or the servers, use these reliable methods:
Official Sources
- @BNGServerStatus – real-time maintenance updates
- @MarathonTheGame – official announcements
Third-Party Tools
- DownDetector for outage reports
- Community forums and Discord discussions
Marathon servers are not permanently down—they’re recovering from scheduled maintenance for Update 1.0.5. If you’re still facing issues, it’s most likely due to login congestion or delayed updates on your device.
Give it a little time, and you should be back in the game shortly.
