How many people play Destiny 2? Player count tracker (October 2024)

Destiny 2, like many enduring live service games, has witnessed its share of ups and downs in terms of player engagement. This leads to the question: how popular is it today? We’ve got the most recent data on Destiny 2’s player count as of January 2024.

The first installment, Destiny, launched in 2014 for PlayStation and Xbox, paving the way for the much-anticipated sequel, Destiny 2, which was released in 2017.

Since launch Bungie has supported Destiny 2 with 22 seasons of content and Season 23 is already confirmed to be on its way. There’s even The Final Shape expansion coming in 2024 that will overhaul several of the looter shooter’s core mechanics.

But have these big changes been enough to keep Destiny popular? Here’s everything you need to know about how many people are still playing Destiny 2 in 2024.

Updated January 3, 2024, with player count information.

Do we know Destiny 2’s active player count?

Although Bungie doesn’t publicize the exact numbers we can take an educated guess of Destiny 2’s player count thanks to SteamCharts, an extremely useful third-party tool that tracks Steam player numbers.

According to SteamCharts, Destiny 2 saw an average daily player count of 47,169 over the last 30 days which marks a 4 % decline from the 49,451 recorded in December 2023.

Destiny 2’s peak player count for December 2023 was 103,607, an increase from the months of October and November where it never went above 100,000. For comparison, September 2023 saw Destiny 2 reach 145,390 players.

Bungie’s looter shooter saw its all-time peak in February 2023 where it managed to attract an impressive 316,651 concurrent players.

Keep in mind that these numbers only reflect the player count of Destiny 2’s PC version. With the looter shooter first debuting as a console exclusive back in 2014, it has a substantial console playerbase that is not represented by SteamCharts.
