Destiny 2 final update drives major player surge on Steam

Destiny 2 saw its largest concurrent player peak on Steam in nearly two years after the release of its final update, Monument of Triumph, on 9 June.

The update reached 167,867 concurrent players, a sharp increase from the sub-40,000 peaks recorded since the start of the year. It marked the biggest jump since the all-time high of 314,634 set with The Final Shape in June 2024.

Monument of Triumph restored previously vaulted content, reversed some prior changes and added material originally planned for future expansions. Bungie also restructured the game into the Destiny 2: The Collection bundle, priced at $25, which climbed to second place on Steam's global top sellers list.

Community efforts, including a petition for Destiny 3 and organised events, contributed to the turnout. The update received broadly positive feedback.

The rise coincided with a decline for Bungie's extraction shooter Marathon, which fell to a peak of 17,986 concurrent players on Steam.

Sony has taken a major financial hit on its bungie acquisition, recording an impairment loss of roughly $765 million for the fiscal year. The charge stems from underperformance by destiny 2 and the new extraction shooter marathon.

Bungie announced the conclusion of content updates for Destiny 2 nearly nine years after launch. The final content drop is set for 9 June 2026, though the game will stay online. Players have responded with thousands of reviews on Steam.

Bungie has no plans to develop Destiny 3. After content updates for Destiny 2 conclude in June, the studio will instead incubate new projects while continuing post-launch support for Marathon.

Interest in Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth has risen sharply on Steam following a trailer for the upcoming Revelation at Summer Game Fest. The games received discounts as part of a franchise sale, leading to higher concurrent player counts over the past weekend.

The game also hit a peak of 467,582 concurrent players on Steam on launch day. Lead designer Anthony Gallegos responded to pre-release piracy incidents in the official Discord server.
