How these estimates are made

Destiny 2

We estimate that about 300,000 people play Destiny 2 on a typical day (most likely between 170,000 and 500,000), based on data from Nov 6, 2026. Around 25,000,000 accounts (between 16,000,000 and 38,000,000) have played it at some point. It is anchored on Steam’s official concurrent-player count, converted to daily players, so players on other launchers or consoles may not be fully counted. Confidence: medium — Steam covers part of the player base, or several community signals agree.
