Since Sony acquired Bungie in 2022, the cooperation between the two parties has not been going smoothly, and the situation is getting worse.

Once the poster child for sales and players, Destiny 2 has seen a significant decline in recent years.In its recent financial report, Sony stated that it was deeply disappointed with the sales and player online data of "Destiny 2", resulting in an impairment loss of US$204 million.

Sony Chief Financial Officer Lin Tao said in a recent financial report Q&A that the performance of "Destiny 2" was lower than expected, user participation was at the lowest level, and some of the company's assets faced impairment losses of more than $204 million.

The poor performance even led Sony to lower Bungie's performance targets.Impairment losses were the main reason for the decline in operating profit of the PlayStation Games Business and Services segment in the second quarter of 2025.

However, Lin Tao said that the partnership between the two parties remains strong and they will continue to support Bungie.The studio is currently developing Marathon, which is scheduled to release in 2026 despite some internal concerns.

This means Sony still believes Bungie can get back on its feet."Destiny 2" is also about to receive its next major update. This update will be "Star Wars" themed, which will undoubtedly bring a bit of vitality to the player base again.
