If you had any doubt that Destiny is a huge force in the online world right now, Activision’s announcement that the game is smashing PlayStation records might rid you of such notions.
The company said that Destiny: The Taken King has become the most downloaded day-one game in PlayStation history, overtaking the number of people who were enjoying it a year ago on launch day. The expansion also set new records for total players and peak concurrency.
Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said that he’s quite upbeat on the future of the game: “Destiny: The Taken King is officially the most downloaded game on day-one in PlayStation history and set a new benchmark for both total Destiny players and peak online concurrency on day-one, so it’s safe to say the Destiny franchise continues to gain momentum.”
