In addition to this, as of June 18th Destiny 2 has once again cracked the top 10 Xbox Live most played games list. It is currently sitting in 9th place:
This is a critical time for the Destiny franchise as Bungie will be operating as an independent studio in September. They will be free from the Activision partnership and PlayStation content exclusivity. With the Shadowkeep expansion announcement, Bungie has made it very clear they want to connect more players on multiple platforms (including Steam and Google Stadia). They intend to accomplish this with cross save across multiple platforms, and no exclusive content restrictions. The New Light system will also be introduced so that newcomers can access the base game through a free-to-play model.
