If you’ve been playing Marathon as part of a duo and enjoying it, you’re getting a little break as the Outpost Duos option goes away.

Marathon’s director Joe Ziegler has reached out to all enjoying its experimental Duos queues to reveal that Outpost Duos has come to a close. But before you begin lamenting its closure, know that there are a couple more experimental queues coming your way next week, with more details to be revealed as their addition draws nearer.

There are some promising updates about Duos making their way to the game as a part of Season 2, including a new experimental queue on April 15th, 10 AM PT. It’s otherwise been a busy week of balancing the game over at Bungie, with several nerfs of popular tactics hitting the game, the Biotoxic Disinjector being prominent among them.

It’s all part of an effort to make Marathon well-balanced, and to transform Tau Ceti IV into the destination of choice for those of you who can’t get enough of extraction shooters. In the meantime, those among you who’ve been having a blast playing as part of two-member extraction squads could dabble with bigger teams, or maybe take a breather if you’re so inclined.

Marathon is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It’s due to receive even more content in Season 2, including a night version of Dire Marsh and a new Runner. Check out the roadmap here.
