According to the Popularity Report service, on June 10, over a million people logged into Destiny 2. For a project that will soon be nine years old, this was one of the best indicators recently.
The sharp increase in audience led to technical problems. Players reported difficulties logging in, errors, and disconnections from servers. Bungie had to quickly stabilize the situation and conduct additional technical work.
The massive return of users was not accidental. The Destiny community decided to rally around the release of the last major update to show Sony that interest in the series remains high. In recent weeks, fans launched petitions calling for Destiny 3 and regularly reminded about the franchise during PlayStation events.
Over a million active players in one day, almost a decade after Destiny 2's release, became a serious argument for continuing the series.
