service shooter from Bungie, is seriously struggling to retain players right now.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair, the game does have a fairly sizeable DLC coming up in December \u2014 you know, the Star Wars one \u2014 but at the time of writing this article, there&#8217;s some real doom and gloom surrounding Destiny 2 as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>A particularly in-depth report from <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/thegamepost.com\/destiny-2-lowest-player-count-steam-franchise-history-bungie-trust\/\">The Game Post<\/a> does a great job of highlighting the numerous problems that the development team&#8217;s up against.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, the community&#8217;s faith in Bungie is <em>low<\/em>; there&#8217;s a growing sentiment that Destiny 2 just isn&#8217;t doing enough to keep its players engaged \u2014 a tale as old as time. And unfortunately, this is a criticism that&#8217;s backed up by data.<\/p>\n<div class=\"for-mobile insert insert-label\">\n<div id=\"inject-primis-player\" data-src-primis=\"https:\/\/live.primis.tech\/live\/liveView.php?s=117168&amp;vp_content=plembed39b4tigwxqjz&amp;cbuster=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&amp;playerApiId=primis_player_float&amp;schain=1.0,1!ziffdavis.com,22392450815,1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>On Steam, where such data is readily available, Destiny 2 has hit its lowest ever player count of just 18,439 (on average, over the last 30 days).<\/p>\n<p>Now, for plenty of games, that&#8217;ll be a healthy return \u2014 but for Destiny 2, it&#8217;s a sobering indication of just how far the shooter has fallen. This is a title that, just over a year ago, was tripling those numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Bit by bit by bit, the shooter&#8217;s been shedding players at a pretty steady rate for the past 18 months or so. Expansions <em>usually<\/em> bring a solid surge in popularity \u2014 as you&#8217;d expect \u2014 but even then, the peaks are getting smaller.<\/p>\n<p>Case in point: The Final Shape, which launched in June 2024, peaked at an impressive 314,634 players. Jump to The Edge of Fate, which dropped this summer, and the game peaked at just 98,211 players.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Steam figures aren&#8217;t everything, but they&#8217;re often a very solid indicator of a game&#8217;s popularity in a general sense. There&#8217;s little reason to doubt that Destiny 2 has been in decline for quite a while.<\/p>\n<p>Many have argued that Bungie should have started phasing the game out some time ago, back when the studio&#8217;s seasonal content plans were initially scrutinised. Naturally, there have been calls for Destiny 3 \u2014 but given Bungie&#8217;s current state, a project of that magnitude is starting to seem more and more unrealistic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"insert-label centered insert lazyload for-mobile insert-extended lazyload\">\n<div id=\"PS_MPU_X_I68E55F9A9BAA7\" style=\"min-width:300px; min-height:250px\" data-dfp-id=\"pushsquare\/mobile_web_display\/article\" data-dfp-sizes=\"300x250,300x600\" data-dfp-targeting=\"pos=1,gto=false,experiment=nl-article-mobile-2\" class=\"lazyload\" data-dfp-refresh-direct=\"true\" data-prebid-config=\"Lazy_Load_HP_MPU\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Which leads us full circle to Sony&#8217;s acquisition of the company. At this point, the $3.6 billion buyout feels like it happened a lifetime ago \u2014 it was in 2022 \u2014 but it was a move that continues to be questioned.<\/p>\n<p>After all, Bungie&#8217;s very rarely made positive headlines over these last few years. It goes without saying that Marathon has only added to the negativity; Bungie&#8217;s <em>other<\/em> shooter is finally getting back in the saddle with a technical test this month, but it&#8217;s going to have to be something special to turn public opinion after all the controversy.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts on this whole Bungie saga? What do you think the future holds for Destiny 2?

The game lost quite a few players last year and guess what, it was still a Steam Platinum game I.e. the top 12 grossing games on the platform. Big AAA releases like Dragons Dogma 2(peak ccu on steam of 228k) did not make the top 12. FIFA 25 did not make the top 12, nor Path of Exile 2(peak ccu of 578k last year). Games like Indiana jones didn\u2019t even make the top 50.<\/p>\n<p>So if Destiny 2 is doing significantly worse, it is still probably making more money than a bunch of big new releases from this year. Worse than great is still a lot of money. Numbers falling doesn\u2019t always mean doom when they\u2019re falling from a massive number.<\/p>\n<p>When the Destiny 2 expansions went up for pre order this year the game still immediately jumped to the global charts number one position on Steam.so any narrative around Bungee being doomed is utter nonsense. Not hitting your financial targets, because they were insanely high, might make some people unhappy but no one is closing down the studio or any nonsense.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8855489\" data-author=\"users\/147759\" data-subject=\"comments\/8855489\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8855489\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pushsquare.com\/themes\/base\/images\/avatar.svg\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Sensechat\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/10\/sonys-acquisition-of-bungie-continues-to-be-questioned-as-destiny-2-falls-off-a-cliff#comment8855489\">5<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Sensechat<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-10-07T18:18:07+00:00\">26m ago<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>This is the news I expected tbh.<br \/>\nI find this sad.<\/p>\n<p>I was a big player of Destiny 1. I still regard it as one of the best games I ever played.<br \/>\nI got married and had kids, and wasn&#8217;t really able to play Destiny 2 as I knew it would mess up my life if it grabbed me in the same way as Destiny 1.<br \/>\nSo I write this as a big Destiny fan who unfortunately couldn&#8217;t commit to the sequel.<\/p>\n<p>The Sony takeover was a bad idea. Bungie are a great studio and it pains me to see them not being able to fire on all cylinders and retain the key staff that made Halo Reach and Destiny the best in class shooters of all time.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t see much chance of Bungie ever being as great as they once were. I don&#8217;t think Sony will do anything to help that.

Also worth noting that when Bungie had to lay off staff, a lot of them were from QA department, and looking at Edge of fate\/Ash and Iron, you can clearly see it&#8217;s missing the mark.<\/p>\n<p>Final note, Their patch notes are completely tone deaf and most definitely aren&#8217;t listening to player&#8217;s feed back, which is also pushing people to stop playing the game.
