Pyro Gaming is reporting that Destiny 2's player population is growing. Over the past weekend, over a million players were taking part in the game for the first time since the launch of the Forsaken expansion in fall 2018. Numbers had been sagging, at least according to Activision-Blizzard financial reports, and were cited as a reason for the split between Bungie and ATVI.
There are several reasons why renewed interest has been kindled. It could be related to the release of Season of Opulence or due to last week's announcement that Destiny 2 would be going free to play in September. Lastly, the Shadowkeep expansion is on the way.
