Destiny 2 Hits Record Lows on Steam as Bungie Reverses Next-Season Power Reset

Bungie's move follows record-low Steam counts that highlight a prolonged slide in engagement.

Overview

  • PC Gamer reports Destiny 2 logged its lowest daily peak on Steam at 16,067 concurrent players.
  • SteamCharts shows a roughly 18,100–18,349 player monthly average over the last 30 days, the lowest since the game arrived on Steam in 2019, though these figures do not capture console play.
  • Bungie announced Seasonal Power will carry over into Season 28 in December, dropping the previously planned reset.
  • Recent expansion surges have shrunk, with The Final Shape peaking at about 314,634 Steam players compared with roughly 98,211 for The Edge of Fate.
  • Reporters and players cite the new Portal system and the seasonal power grind as key turnoffs, while December’s Star Wars: Renegades expansion is viewed as a potential—yet uncertain—test of a rebound.
