Destiny 2 player count up over this time last year

Activision Blizzard announced today that Destiny 2‘s monthly active players are up in its fiscal third quarter, a period that ended on September 30. The number is higher compared to the last quarter and the same period last year. Activision Blizzard did not provide exact figures.

Destiny 2 launched for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One September 6, 2017. The PC version followed on October 24, 2017. The Forsaken expansion released on September 4 of this year for all three platforms. It’s impressive that Forsaken has helped Destiny 2 have more players this quarter than during the same time last year, which included its launch on consoles. But that 2017 window excluded PC players, which makes the comparison less than perfect.
