Destiny 2 feature 2

Destiny 2 is the biggest PC launch in Activision’s history

Activision has announced that Destiny 2 is the first title released on Battle.net and is the biggest PC launch in Activision Publishing history. Moreover, and based on total units, Destiny 2 has outsold the first Destiny which was hailed as the “biggest new video game IP launch in history” at the time.

Destiny 2 has earned more than 90 awards and nominations to date. Activision and Bungie also released the Destiny 2 Ghost Skill for Amazon Alexa, a first of its kind for games, allowing players to ask Alexa and Ghost to perform in-game tasks.

Truth be told, the PC version of Destiny 2 is one of the most optimized PC games of 2017. Vicarious Visions, who handled the PC port, did an incredible work as the game feels and plays like a proper PC shooter.

Activision did not reveal any specific numbers regarding the PC sales of Destiny 2!

    ‘earned’

    “the PC version of Destiny 2 is one of the most optimized PC games of 2017”
    30fps and frame-pacing issues on Xbone X, lol!

  2. Meh. I always thought games would continue having complex game mechanics. I played through the content through the beta and had my fill. Congrats on their success, but its not my cup of tea.

  3. Of course it is. Sounds like Activision accounted for total sale units which includes promo keys to Nvidia. I wonder what the relationship looks like between total number of GPU’s sold during the Destiny 2 Nvidia Promo and Crypto time frame. Feeling lazy to check JPR discreet analysis.

Somehow I don’t feel like there are very many people playing this game…

    1. Battlenet is quite huge itself. If any company could rival steam it would be battlenet in my opinion and I think they could possibly end up edging out steam over time they have a serious global following for all their franchises.

  8. While peasantry may primarily reside on consoles, it most certainly exists on PC too. I hope each and every purchaser is thoroughly disappointed, with the game and themselves.

  9. This is advertising and I think John and other editors here should take Activision and Blizzard announcements with a grain of salt. Numbers? They havent provide any.
    Still making claims like “this is the greatest game of all history and everybody are playing it” is a way to do marketing and boost some sales.
    Well “I have the biggest mustache ever seen”, but Im not gonna share any photos of my mustache, still everyone should believe on my claim, that is Blizzard/Activision style.
    Also as someone said, Activision were giving keys with nvidia and other hardware developers.

  10. Watched the whole thing, damn that is crazy 🙁 . I can’t believe they would leave a broken micro-transaction and let gamers continue to buy it and it does nothing/or is broken and they are still like “we will fix it in 2018, but will not take it down”. Brutal.

    It is slowly coming to the point where you just can’t trust/believe most AAA companies. I am sure the honest/good ones will be the ones that survive and the rest will die. I guess the big question is still how many users don’t have a clue about all this stuff and never will.
