3.2 million people play Destiny per day on average

A month after Destiny's hugely successful launch, Bungie has revealed a few impressive gameplay statistics. The development studio says that currently 3.2 million people on average log in to play Destiny every single day, which is probably largely down to the daily events and the addition of raids.

The average Destiny owner has supposedly played the game 20.9 times overall and plays 1.8 times a day, including weekends. Its safe to say that Bungie has grown in popularity as a game studio, despite the mild disappointment surrounding Destiny's story. More people have played Destiny within its first three weeks than both Halo 3 and Halo: Reach combined.

On Bungie's weekly update blog, the studio said: “We thank you for playing. And, we thank you for the passion and enthusiasm that has made the Destiny community so strong already. It's been amazing to watch your Guardians become legends. Your reactions and your opinions have helped us to make Destiny better over this past month.”

“Pioneering something new is never easy. When we see the raw numbers, it’s easy for us to say that the destination was worth the journey. Stay tuned for the next evolution of our shared adventure.”

KitGuru Says: I don't own one of the new consoles so I've not had a chance to play Destiny fully just yet, hopefully by the time it comes to the PC (if it does), Bungie will have fleshed out the story a bit more to make it a bit more satisfying to play through. From what I played of the beta though, I enjoyed the mechanics of the game. Have any of you guys stopped playing Destiny yet? Were you one of the people disappointed with the story?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.

  1. Well, I guess spending 500 millions in marketing works. Giving a few bucks to a real writer must have been out of budget.

  2. I am confident that there is a full and lore-packed story behind Destiny, but suspect it will be revealed one DLC at a time.
