Destiny 2 Players Crash Servers With 130,000 Logins as Fans Demand Destiny 3

Summary
More than 130,000 Destiny 2 players logged in on Steam within minutes of the June 9 final update, overwhelming servers in a coordinated push to show the franchise still has a large audience.
The fan campaign aimed to pressure Sony and Bungie to keep investing in Destiny rather than let Destiny 2 slip into maintenance mode after its last major patch.
Server issues hit around 1:45 p.m. EST and began easing roughly 10 minutes later, with Bungie support acknowledging login problems as players celebrated error messages online instead of complaining.
Posts across X and other channels framed the outage as proof of demand for Destiny 3, even as the report said a sequel appears unlikely soon and Destiny 2 will stay online without major new expansions.
