  • Over 4.6 Million Gamers Played the Destiny Beta

    Activision and Bungie should be thrilled at these numbers. They revealed that over 4.6 million people played the beta for Destiny. They are claiming that it's the biggest beta of this console generation by a wide margin and the "largest console beta ever for a new video game IP to date."
    The beta began first on PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 on July 17 and came to a close Sunday evening, with 4,638,937 unique players participating.

    "This is the biggest beta of this console generation by a wide margin and the largest console beta ever for a new video game IP to date," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. "Hosting a beta at this scale is an incredible feat, so we're thrilled to see the phenomenal response. But the beta is just a taste of what's to come. We're counting down the days to our launch day, September 9th."

    "We were totally blown away by the number of people who played the beta," said Pete Parsons, COO of Bungie. "We surpassed even our own goals and the feedback was invaluable. We cannot thank the community enough, the response was humbling and in the weeks ahead we'll be working hard to ensure that Destiny lives up to the expectations at launch."

    Destiny is slated to be released September 9 for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3.
