Destiny 2 Steam Player Count is Dropping

Destiny 2 Steam player count hits an all-time low of 24,826.5 players on average in December 2024.


The game's peak player count of 39,764 players is also the lowest all-time peak.


Destiny 2's recent bugs and issues during the Dawning event may be reasons for the game's declining player count.

Well over 310,000 players on Steam played Destiny 2: The Final Shape during its peak in June 2024, but the surging player count was not sustained in the months that followed, despite the subsequent release of Episode Revenant in October.

Destiny 2 lost roughly 17% of its average player count from November 2024, which had an average of 30,113.5 players

The Steam player count decline in Destiny 2 may be attributed to multiple controversies that affected the game during the course of Episode Revenant, including major technical issues that players experienced in Destiny 2's Dawning 2024 event.


These issues include glitched cookies, gun focusing not working as intended, and the Dawning event card being free momentarily before Bungie released a quick fix to make it paid again

However, it's likely that the Steam player count may grow again once Bungie releases Destiny 2 Episode Heresy and other major content updates in 2025.
