**Bungie**, the renowned developer behind Destiny, and **Sony** have confirmed a visual milestone for the highly anticipated game **Marathon**. The title, an extraction shooter, will run at a native internal resolution of 5K in the version optimized for the **PS5 Pro**. With a release date set for **March 5, 2026**, this information comes directly from the game’s official page on the PlayStation Store, bringing relief and excitement to fans after a delay of about six months. This revelation is significant because it demonstrates the raw power of Sony’s latest hardware, promising an exceptionally sharp visual experience in a competitive genre where every detail counts.
This technical feat is achieved thanks to **PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR)** technology. However, instead of traditional upscaling, the system will perform the reverse process: **downsampling**. This means the game is rendered internally at 5K and then downscaled to an ultra-clean and stable 4K image on your TV. This way, even in intense action scenes, your “Runner’s” view will remain incredibly sharp, free of jagged edges. Meanwhile, to ensure smoothness, Sony and Bungie have confirmed, for now, a locked and smooth frame rate of 60 FPS.
## An Innovative Use of PSSR Technology
The case of Marathon stands out for using PSSR in a less common way. Typically, this technology is a feature to enhance the perceived resolution of games that render at a lower base resolution. Here, however, it acts as a state-of-the-art polisher, refining an image already generated with a very high pixel density. The result promises to be a visual so clean that it should further highlight the futuristic and elegant design of Marathon’s world. Despite this, the community eagerly awaits news about a possible 120 FPS mode, which was not mentioned in the initial information.
Therefore, with the premiere approaching in March, Marathon positions itself not only as a major test for Bungie in the competitive live-service game market but also as a true **visual flagship** for the PS5 Pro. The strategy of prioritizing maximum graphical fidelity with 5K downsampling could set a new quality standard for games optimized for the console. Thus, Brazilian players who have invested in Sony’s most powerful hardware have a strong reason to keep an eye on the release calendar for early 2026.
