Damn, that's a pretty hefty number isn't it? Activision has revealed that Destiny now has 25 million registered users, and on average, those Guardians are spending around three hours a day with the game. Guess those daily bounties and missions are doing their job, eh?
Of course, even if you've only logged into the title once and never played it again, you're counted in the aforementioned total - but the publisher also reckons that there's been an increase of around five million users in the last three months, which is impressive. What's more, the shooter's currently the most viewed console release on Twitch. It's good news all around for Bungie's blast-'em-up then, and we can only imagine how much dosh those new emotes are making on the side.
Do you still play Destiny on a regular basis? Can you see the game maintain its popularity, or maybe expand its audience even further? Take a few shots in the comments section below.

Im still enjoying it. There's so much to do. I think it'll be just fine in the future.
I've not played much recently, TTK was (and is) great though. Looking forward to the expansions, hopefully they'll be a bit more substantial than the last ones..
Just read the press release, the PR talk just makes me sick: "...destiny has 25 million UNIQUE players..."
Come on people, don't pretend out of all these players you actually think every player is special in his/ her own way....blegh!
I've been falling our of love with it since the grind and loot system of TTK are worse than ever. Be interesting to see the active user numbers after Fallout 4 and Battlefront drop. That's where I'll be!
I still play regularly although not as much over the last few weeks for various reasons. Don't know if I will play much in November with the new releases due either. I guess it depends on what Bungie add to the experience as I don't have too much to achieve. I want to et my PS4 account up to a similar standard as my XB1 account -weapons, gear, trophies etc. As for the micro-transactions - as much as I like the Zombie dance, I refuse to buy 'Silver' and not even used my free 400 yet...
I'm already bored with Taken King... Uninstalled it the other day.
I haven't played much in the last few weeks other than to check our the Halloween stuff which was fun. Other than that I loved the Sleeper Simulant quest, especially doing the strike at the end with 2 random people and making 2 new friends in the process. Having now finally finished the Witcher, I've cleared up some time for Fallout 4, so Destiny will be taking a back seat too but I'll be back for the expansions
I play every night and all night
@AnubisLK8T2 C'mon admit it, you love Destiny really.
I really enjoyed TTK the fiery hammer of my titan. But overall it does feel like treading old ground with new gear, which was okay for a while. Now looking for another game that does co-op
I've not played in a few weeks, I like to take long breaks. With Fallout arriving I won't be touching it for a while. Those emotes should pay for some free new content.
@kyleforrester87 @BAMozzy I think I played a little too much of Destiny. I had to sell it else play no other games.
Destiny is brilliant and I will rebuy it in the future when Destiny 3 hits next year. Once my Xmas games are beaten.
I'm struggling to play anything other than Destiny. Just when I think I'll take a break a new exotic is found or there's a new event on.
Destiny 2 is going to be amazing.
I did enjoy Destiny when I had people to play it with, just got bored of logging in and doing the same bountys over again. Gameplay wise it's great though, may get it with all dlc's after Fallout and Star Wars.
Yay! Explore more players activision! Please, more copy and paste COD and MORE MUCH More MicroTransations! People voted with their wallets now let's enjoy the results!
Dont like cod or destiny?....dont buy them!
@Patinator
The shooting is top notch for sure. In fact I don't know if there's an FPS on the current consoles that plays better. Unfortunately there were a lot of missteps in other areas along the way but at least it seems like Bungie is trying to fix those. I'm done supporting online-only games though, especially after some of my experience with Destiny last year, so I won't be going back.
Still playing almost every day and I have still a lot to do.
Love Destiny, love it so much. But the birth of a new baby girl means it will be taking a backseat for a while!
@professorhat the birth of my kids was the reason I never owned a ps3 or Xbox. Alongside the xbone they are the only consoles I've not owned. Back with a vengeance now they are older though.
Feel like i issued out on so much last gen, god I wish the ps4 had backward comparability!
Probably get shot saying this here by that's why I love my Wii u so much...with off screen play negating TV competition once the kids are in bed I've never been able to game so much! Maybe I need a vita to do the same on ps4
