Destiny 2 Sees Highest Player Count in Two Years After Latest Update

Destiny 2 has a big update. This is the last one for the game. Many fans are playing the game now. The game had 167,000 players at the same time on Steam. This is the most players since 2024.

Some fans have trouble logging in. This is because so many people are playing at once. Before the update, fans wanted to beat a record. They wanted to break the player count of another game, Marathon, which had 77,000 players. They did this and caused problems for Destiny 2’s servers. This happened during the workday in the US. It will be interesting to see if more players join in the evening and over the weekend.

Last month, Bungie said it would stop supporting Destiny 2 in June. Many fans were surprised. They thought there would be more updates. Bungie wants to focus on a new game called Marathon. This game is not very popular.

Fans are upset and want a new Destiny game, called Destiny 3. Reports say this game is not being made. Bungie may also lay off workers.
