Bungie dropped the Renegades expansion for Destiny 2, and Steam numbers are sitting at around 66,000 concurrent players. That beats the depressing October lows and the sub-2,000 counts from right before launch, but it still falls short of what Edge of Fate pulled on its first day when 108,000 people showed up. The studio knows players are checked out compared to where things stood a few years back.
Edge of Fate flopped commercially even with higher launch numbers, and Renegades might not crack that peak despite having Star Wars branding attached. The devs admitted they screwed up after The Final Shape released and are hoping this expansion starts turning things around. Whispers about Destiny 3 keep floating around as the potential clean slate Bungie needs to win people back.
