Destiny 2 just had one of its biggest moments in years, and it hasn’t mattered to anyone making decisions at Bungie. A reliable insider has confirmed that the chart-topping success of the game’s final update hasn’t changed anything internally, with significant layoffs reportedly still on the way.
The numbers alone make this sting. Players broke servers during the final update, and even pushed past Marathon’s peak player count in the process.
A blunt one-word answer
Paul Tassi addressed the situation in a recent YouTube video, where he discussed reports that Bungie could lay off around 400 staff members this summer. He couldn’t confirm the exact figure, but said cuts of that scale would track if the studio is shutting down a game that half its workforce was dedicated to.
Tassi said he asked his internal sources directly whether the update’s success, which helped push Destiny 2 to third on Steam’s revenue charts last week, had shifted anything at Bungie. The answer he got back was blunt: “No.”
No team left to maintain it
According to the insider, Destiny 2 is receiving a final hotfix, and that’s effectively the end of active support. Intervention will reportedly only happen if something game-breaking surfaces.
As Tassi put it, there isn’t even a small team being kept around to handle basic upkeep.
