Destiny 2 players are planning a community “server slam” on June 9, with fans encouraging as many people as possible to jump online at the same time. The goal is simple: show Sony and Bungie that there’s still a huge audience for Destiny and that the franchise remains one of gaming’s most passionate communities.
The idea took off after a popular Reddit post urged players to push Destiny 2’s player count past Marathon’s all-time peak:
“We need to at least smash Marathon’s all-time high to show them they made the wrong decision.”
Since then, so many players have returned to the game to show Sony how wrong they are.

For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all. Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2.
As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio.
Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to.
We’re proud of Destiny 2, the places it took us, and the legacy it has created. Because of you all, our universe is vast, built on years of shared stories, adventures, and victories. From the Cosmodrome to the Pale Heart to the Lawless Frontier, we have forged life-long memories and friendships with you all.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made that journey with us.
From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you, and we'll see you in the stars.
