Destiny 2 Player Count is Suddenly Blowing Up

Destiny 2 is suddenly blowing up again on Steam, and the timing couldn't be more fitting. Today, June 9, 2026, marks the launch of Monument of Triumph, the final major live-service update for Bungie's long-running looter shooter, and players are clearly showing up for one last major moment. According to SteamDB, Destiny 2 has climbed to more than 167,000 concurrent players in just a few hours after the update's launch, giving the game its biggest Steam player count in roughly two years.
