Players State That They Don’t Trust Bungie Anymore As Destiny 2 Hits Lowest Ever Player Count

Expert Verified By

Is This The End of Bungie?

Story Highlight
  • Destiny 2 player count has fallen to an all-time low as it averages just 16K players now.
  • The player base used to be significantly higher, but has fallen due to bad recent updates.
  • Players are also showing their skepticism, saying that they don’t trust Bungie anymore.

Destiny 2, at one point, was one of the biggest multiplayer games of all time. Since PlayStation took over Bungie, the quality of the studio has significantly dropped, along with reports of a poor environment and more problems. 

This has also led to a steep decline for Destiny 2, which used to average a healthy player base. Most of the players have now given up on it, and the player count on Steam is now averaging just around 16K daily. 

Why it matters: The game is currently in a transition era, and isn’t necessarily turning into something the fans appreciate. The quality has depreciated; therefore, the player count has fallen as well.

On SteamDB, if we check Destiny 2’s player count over the previous months, it used to have 30K-40K average players on a daily basis, but it has now fallen to more than half, with just 16K and only 7K currently. 

This deteriorating quality has really frustrated the fans, who state that they don’t trust Bungie anymore. On various Destiny 2 posts or even the rumored Destiny 3, fans have been quite vocal about their distrust.

Even on the recent Destiny 2 expansion, the recent comments on the Steam page are ‘Mostly Negative’. Things at Bungie aren’t anything good either, as they are in the middle of developing Marathon, which isn’t going too well. 

An insider recently predicted that Marathon would be another insult to an already injured company, and even the early reception from playtesters was negative, which forced the studio to push the game’s release.
