Destiny 2 has been one of the most influential and enduring online shooters of the last decade, and the news that active development is officially ending has prompted some intense reactions from fans.
Bungie threw caution to the wind last month with Destiny 2's final update, Monument of Triumph, which made the game more active than it had been in years as current and lapsed players returned for the big send-off. Numbers from SteamDB showed Destiny 2's concurrent Steam player count had climbed to more than 165,000 at the time, which was the highest number for the game since summer 2024, which saw the game approach its all-time peak of 316,750.
