As a seasoned Destiny 2 player with countless hours spent traversing the cosmos and battling against alien threats, I must admit that this year has been a rollercoaster ride for our beloved game. The community’s frustration over the game’s state is palpable, and the recent issues during The Dawning have only added fuel to the fire.
2024 saw a blend of highs and lows for Destiny 2, with many players expressing dissatisfaction throughout most of the year. The challenges encountered during The Dawning event have added to the community’s discontent as the year draws to a close. Now, there are growing concerns within the community that Destiny 2 might be on its last legs due to an alarmingly low number of active players.
Players are naturally anxious about what D2’s future holds, but there’s plenty to look forward to from both the series and Bungie in the coming year. It’s likely that Destiny Rising, a spin-off title, will be released within the next year. Additionally, playtesting sessions for Marathon are slated for the following year as well.
2025 looks promising with both Destiny Rising and Marathon on the horizon, yet some enthusiasts of Bungie’s work are not as hopeful about the future developments of Destiny 2.
Destiny 2 reaches record-breaking low player count
In the main forum for Destiny The Game, fans are expressing concern about the future of Destiny 2 due to its dwindling player base. Specifically, on December 19th, user kristijan1001 highlighted that the game had hit a disappointingly low figure of 12,379 players on Steam.
19,128 players returned to the Steam version of the game a few hours later. It’s worth mentioning that this count doesn’t include players on PlayStation and Xbox platforms. Additionally, charts provided by activeplayer.io indicate that the player base has decreased by about 50% compared to 2023 figures.
There’s growing unease about the fact that this game’s player count has significantly decreased from its usual 80k, with a fear it may even fall below 10k before the next release. The OP also mentions that finding players for certain activities has become incredibly difficult, leaving you in a tough spot when trying to form groups (LFG).

Regrettably, several responses share the concerns expressed by the original poster (OP) that the game appears to be losing popularity due to a decline in player enthusiasm. One prominent comment attributes this issue to Bungie repeating similar errors in their approach.
In response to a comment, one person predicts that “Destiny will have an impact on the post-Avengers: Endgame era,” while another regrets that “the enchantment of the Destiny universe seems to be lost.
Although pessimism might seem appropriate given the current situation, Bungie has clearly laid out their plans for the early part of 2025, including Year 11. The third act of Revenant is scheduled to begin at the start of the new year, and it will come with a series of significant adjustments (buffs and nerfs) as well as a brand-new dungeon in February.
It’s hoped that D2 will regain its past grandeur next year, but currently, players aren’t feeling overly positive about it. Consequently, it falls upon Bungie to show these players that they were wrong by delivering an outstanding performance instead.
