Destiny 2 Hits Record-Low Steam Average as Bungie Eyes December Star Wars Expansion

Shrinking expansion peaks over an 18-month slide signal deepening engagement trouble.

Overview

  • Destiny 2’s 30-day Steam average sits around 18,100–18,439 players, the lowest since the game arrived on the platform, according to Steam Charts via The Game Post.
  • Expansion launch surges have weakened markedly, falling from about 314,634 peak concurrents for The Final Shape to roughly 98,211 for The Edge of Fate.
  • Coverage notes a steady decline over roughly 18 months alongside low community trust following layoffs, scandals and criticism of leadership.
  • The Star Wars Renegades expansion is scheduled for December 2025, with reports framing it as a possible but uncertain catalyst for renewed interest.
  • Bungie has opened sign-ups for a closed Marathon technical test this month, as Sony’s $3.6 billion 2022 acquisition faces renewed questions and Wccftech reports Pete Parsons has retired.
