Destiny Rising came strong out of the gate, but the game is struggling to maintain a steady revenue and player count. According to a new report from Sensor Tower, Destiny Rising has seen a 65% revenue drop since launch it earlier this year.
That’s not all; the game’s downloads dropped 66% as well. Downloads for Destiny Rising surged massively between August and September, likely due to launch hype, but everything came crashing down in October.
| Month | Downloads | Change from Previous Month | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 2025 | 732,000 | — | — |
| Sep 2025 | 1,800,000 | +1,068,000 | +146% |
| Oct 2025 | 602,000 | -1,198,000 | -66.5% |
- Peak: September 2025 (1.8 million downloads)
- Low: October 2025 (602K downloads)
Revenue followed the classic launch spike pattern, skyrocketing in September but then collapsing 65% in October 2025.
| Month | Revenue | Change from Previous Month | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 2025 | $2.03M | — | — |
| Sep 2025 | $11.13M | +$9.10M | +448% |
| Oct 2025 | $3.85M | -$7.28M | -65.4% |
- Peak: September 2025 ($11.13 million)
- Low: August 2025 ($2.03 million)
Destiny: Rising earned an impressive $11.13 million in September, up from $2.03 million in August, but saw revenue plunge to $3.85 million in October a 65% month-over-month drop.
The pattern we are seeing here is a strong indication toward weak player retention and a rapid burnout curve following launch hype. The sharp decline indicates that while Destiny: Rising succeeded in drawing initial attention, it may have struggled to convert that momentum into sustained engagement or in-game spending.
Bungie is yet to release an official statement on the game’s post-launch performance, the numbers paint a clear pictuire; Destiny Rising launch strong but its early success appears to have been short-lived.
