Destiny has hit 20 million players, according to publisher Activision.
The number came from the company's Q1 earnings call, which combined player numbers for Destiny and Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft for a grand total of 50 million. Blizzard recently announced 30 million players for Hearthstone, leaving the other 20 million taking up arms in Destiny.
It didn't mention a timeframe for those 20 million players, so it's unknown if those are currently active players. We last heard that Destiny had 16 million players in February, so it's added another 4 million in the last three months. Activision did state that the average daily playtime is 3 hours, which it calls a "remarkable amount of engagement from a passionate player base."
To put in perspective 4 million players joined Destiny in the last 3 months without any new content release... HoW hits the game next week so I expect evenore player joining.
The stream today had over 200k players watching at the same time than the Barca game.
