Destiny 2: Renegades Launches With Star Wars Flair, Series-Low Steam Peak and Mixed Reviews

The short, five-mission campaign leans on repeatable Lawless Frontier runs.

Overview

  • Launch-day Steam concurrents peaked at 71,278, the lowest for a Destiny 2 expansion, with the user rating at a mixed 59% on Steam.
  • The peak trails prior releases, falling below Edge of Fate’s 100,000-plus and far under The Witch Queen, Lightfall, and The Final Shape, each above 290,000.
  • The campaign comprises five missions within a 45-step quest and typically takes about five to six hours, with most encounters built from the Lawless Frontier activity structure.
  • Licensed Star Wars elements include lightsaber-style Praxic Blades, a cantina-like social space, themed armor and enemies, and set-piece homages, all folded into a canonical Destiny story.
  • Early reactions praise narrative beats, cutscenes, weapons, and fanservice, while critics and players question long-term retention and pricing value, with some calling it a short season sold as a full campaign.
