Destiny 2 Fans Crash Servers to Rally for Destiny 3 as Final Patch Lands

Destiny 2’s final patch rolled out across platforms, and fans responded by flooding the servers to demonstrate their ongoing love for the game and demand Destiny 3. Within minutes of the update, servers went down and fans celebrated the outage as a statement to Sony and Bungie about the franchise’s staying power. SteamDB recorded over 130,000 concurrent players during the first 30 minutes of the patch. Bungie acknowledged login issues on its support account, while many players pressed for Destiny 3 or further updates. Even as Destiny 2 will remain online, it won’t receive major new expansions, making Destiny 3 unlikely in the near term.
