Marathon Alpha Test: End date and time for all regions

The Marathon Alpha Test will conclude on May 4, 2025, at 10 am PT. Bungie kicked off the closed alpha test for their upcoming shooter on April 23, 2025, and a lucky few got their hands on the game ahead of its release. While the alpha test wasn't the complete picture of what fans can expect from the release, it was more than enough to give them an idea of how the game would play out.

Unfortunately for those who are still enjoying the game, the alpha test isn't going to last forever. As with all good things, this test will conclude, post which players won't be able to access the game until the next test drops.

Although we have already shared the end date and time for the closed alpha test, depending on your current region of residence, this date and time might appear a little different. Hence, in this article, we will take a closer look at the end date and time for the Marathon Alpha Test in different regions.
