What you need to know

  • Destiny 2 is a first-person shooter from Bungie.

Destiny 2 is a first-person shooter from Bungie that is still incredibly popular after all this time. The game is about to get a new expansion called Shadowkeep, and pre-loading is now live on Xbox One. The new content will definitely increase in the player count, but just how popular of a game is it.

According to The NPD Group which tracks game sales in the United States, Destiny is the second best-selling first-person shooter franchise in dollar sales, trailing only Call of Duty. This is quite surprising because many assumed that titles like Battlefield and Halo would be up there.

Obviously, this list only includes first-person shooters, but it's still shocking to see how it's already beaten established titles. Are you excited for the upcoming Shadowkeep expansion? Let us know.
