Destiny 2 is an online-only multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie. The game came out on September 6, 2017 on Playstation and Xbox One. It was then followed by a Microsoft Windows version the following month. The game on PC first came out on Battle.net – an online gaming social network platform owned by Blizzard.
The game was scheduled just last month to come out on Steam this October

However, the game’s developer – Bungie – has recently acquired their publishing rights to the franchise. Bungie has made its decision and moved the game to the Steam platform where there are 90 million active players. The Steam version of Destiny 2 came out last week on October 1.
The news was announced officially on Battle.net along with possible refund requests for players. If you purchased one of the expansions in the game as well as the Annual pass, you may request a refund. Following that, Destiny 2 was no longer accessible on Blizzard’s Battle.net after September 30. All the game progress, gear, product licenses, and Silver currency remains the same.
One interesting thing is that since the migration to Steam, the game quickly became the 4th most popular game on Steam, just behind the big 3 on Steam: PUBG, Dota 2, CS:GO. The average player number is around 130k people. The game peaks at 292,314 concurrent players and a total of 24,567,230 hours played.
The game is now totally free to play on Steam. However, if you are new players, the expansion Shadowkeep Standard and the Digital Deluxe Edition still come at a price. Old players get to keep their own expansions if they already purchased the game.
