Nearly two months following its final update, Destiny 2 continues to maintain a substantial active player base on PC. Approximately 40,000 concurrent players remain active on Steam, according to recent community reports.
Current Player Engagement and Content Status
Player retention remains steady despite a tumultuous period for developer Bungie and partner Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE). The studio implemented mass layoffs on June 25, following the game's final update on June 9 and the formal announcement of the game's end of service on May 21.
Amid these studio-level changes, the community has turned its attention to newly discovered exploits. A prominent content creator recently detailed a new glitch allowing both solo players and groups to clear endgame content with minimal difficulty. Specific details regarding the mechanics of the exploit have circulated widely among remaining players.
What This Means for Players
With official game updates concluded, active community workarounds and glitches like the recent endgame exploit represent the current state of player interaction with the title. For PC players still engaging with the service on Steam, player counts indicate that matchmaking and community activities remain viable despite the lack of future content schedules from Bungie.
