Bungie’s long-awaited extraction shooter Marathon launches in less than 24 hours. The Marathon release date is set for Thursday, March 5, and to celebrate its launch, Bungie is teaming up with Twitch to offer exclusive Drops. To unlock these, you mostly need to watch eligible streams during the launch window. Marathon Twitch Drops feature five cosmetic rewards, including a weapon skin. The campaign runs from 10 AM PT on March 5 to 10 AM PT on March 9.
How to unlock Marathon Twitch Drops
The first batch of Twitch Drops brings five cosmetics, allowing you to add a couple of items on the launch day. Most of these rewards are unlocked by watching Marathon streams, although one of them requires you to subscribe to a streamer.
To earn these rewards, you need to do the following:
- Link your Bungie and Twitch accounts.
- Log in to Twitch.
- Watch a Drops-enabled stream for at least an hour.
- Open the Twitch Drops Inventory page.
- Claim unlocked items.
Make sure to only watch streams that have Drops enabled, otherwise you won’t receive any progress. Most participating channels will include a “Drops Enabled” tag or mention it in their stream title. As you watch, your progress toward each reward will automatically track through Twitch’s Drops inventory.
Rewards unlock progressively based on total watch time. For example, watching for one hour will grant you the first batch of items, while continuing to watch up to four hours unlocks the final cosmetic weapon skin. You can only get progress from watching one stream at a time, so watching multiple streamers won’t give you extra credit.
If you want the Smol K.i.t.t.y. weapon sticker, you will need to take an extra step by subscribing to a creator playing Marathon or gifting a subscription in their channel. While this cosmetic item is technically not free, you can get it without paying if you have an active Amazon Prime subscription, since you also receive a free monthly Twitch sub with it.

Below is a full breakdown of the available Marathon launch Twitch Drops and how long you need to watch to earn them.
