Activision has announced that Destiny: The Taken King has become the biggest downloaded day-one video game in PlayStation history.
The expansion, which launched on Tuesday for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360, set a new record for peak online concurrency. It was also played by more people on day-one than the original version of Destiny, released in September 2014.
“Destiny: The Taken King is officially the most downloaded game on day-one in PlayStation history and set a new benchmark for both total Destiny players and peak online concurrency on day-one, so it’s safe to say the Destiny franchise continues to gain momentum,” commented Activision Publishing CEO, Eric Hirshberg.
“Along with our talented partners at Bungie, we cannot wait to watch the community continue to grow and tackle the King’s Fall Raid kicking off on Friday.”
