Since the PC version moved to Steam, Bungie Studios&#8217; game had never before seen such a low average player count: <strong>34,328, with a peak of 59,076<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s peculiar is that even last month, the number was very low at <strong>42,140 average players<\/strong>, indicating a consistent downward trend in Destiny 2 that seems to be worsening. Naturally, these numbers are far from the highest ever recorded, like when <strong>316,651 players<\/strong> engaged after the <strong>Lightfall expansion release in February 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Destiny 2: The Final Shape | Reveal Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ehl6aWUiA4Y?start=3&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s worth noting that this player decline isn&#8217;t solely due to content scarcity and the studio&#8217;s rough situation but also because of the <strong>plethora of game releases<\/strong> in the past two months. August, September, and October saw the launch of exceptional games contending for Game of the Year, such as <strong>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, Super Mario Bros.
