Overview

  • The Edge of Fate reached a 99,193 concurrent-player peak on Steam on July 16, the lowest for any Destiny 2 expansion since the game’s 2017 debut.
  • That figure is under one-third of The Final Shape’s launch peak and falls well below the previous low set by Beyond Light.
  • Bungie introduced the Fate Saga in late 2024 to deliver two medium-sized expansions each year, a cadence now questioned after Edge of Fate’s underperformance.
  • Available metrics cover only Steam users, but industry observers expect similar engagement declines on console platforms.
  • Eyes now turn to the upcoming Renegades expansion and full console data to gauge the long-term health of Destiny 2’s live-service model.
