Destiny 2 claims biggest console launch week of the year

The sequel surpasses the digital sales of its predecessor

Posted on

Bungie and Activision Publishing have announced that Destiny 2 launch has become the biggest console release of the year thus far.

The original Destiny became the biggest new console video game franchise launch in history, and Destiny 2 surpassed the original’s records for engagement and digital sales in launch week. Total sales were not specified. The game also claimed the largest ever Day 1 sales globally for PlayStation Store.

Destiny 2, including its two betas, had more than 600M minutes watched on Twitch before the raid, a 6-player gameplay experience started. The raid, called “Leviathan,” went live for players on Sept. 13 and immediately shot to the #1 position on Twitch based on total concurrent viewers.

In Destiny 2, humanity’s last safe city has fallen to an overwhelming invasion force, led by Ghaul, the imposing commander of the brutal Red Legion. He has stripped the city’s Guardians of their power, and forced the survivors to flee. Players will venture to mysterious, unexplored worlds of our solar system to discover an arsenal of weapons and devastating new combat abilities.

Destiny 2 is available now for Xbox One and PS4. The PC launch will follow in October.
