Destiny 2 is seeing a massive resurgence with the release of its final update. <\/p>\n
Destiny fans have shown up in droves to send off the beloved sci-fi shooter. Although Destiny 2’s servers will remain active for the foreseeable future, the game won’t be getting any new content going forward. The game’s final update was released today and at the time of writing, the game’s 24-hour concurrent player count on Steam has peaked at 167,000. This is the highest Destiny 2 player count since the release of 2024’s The Final Shape, the last paid expansion for the game, which peaked at 314,000 players.<\/p>\n
Some players have even been reporting that they’re having troubles logging into Destiny 2 due to the sudden influx. Ahead of the update, fans were aiming to surpass the all-time peak of Marathon and crash Destiny 2’s servers to show Bungie\/Sony that Destiny should continue on. They’ve already blown past Marathon’s all-time peak player count of 77,000 players, and it seems the campaign has been successful in creating instability in Destiny 2’s servers. Given this has all happned in the middle of the workday in the United States, it’ll be interesting to see if this rockets further in the evening or closer to the weekend.<\/p>\n
