Marathon Wiki - FAQ
Can I change my Runner mid-match?
No — Runners are only selectable at the title screen before you launch a run.
How many Runners are there?
Eight at launch: Assassin, Vandal, Destroyer, Recon, Thief, Triage, Sentinel, and Rook.
Does it have cross-play?
Yes — cross-play and cross-save are supported across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox.
Is Rook different from the other Runners?
Yes -- Rook is exclusive to solo play and cannot be used in a squad. It drops you into an existing match rather than at round start, with no gear risk, making it a distinct risk-reward category rather than a standard combat-efficiency pick.
