Make sure you’re getting the most out of your PC with the right settings in Marathon.
Marathon is a vibrant and fast-paced extraction shooter that can be quite demanding on your PC, even during idle times on the Perimeter or Dire Marsh maps. If you want to survive against strong AI, other Runners, and the elements of extraction, then you need to ensure your PC is outputting the most frames per second possible. The easiest way to do that is to use the best overall PC graphics settings in Marathon.
