Bungie stated that Destiny 2 will receive one final update in June, after which all future expansions will be canceled. The decision ends support for the title after more than eleven years, with no sequel currently in development. One such project at Naughty Dog was canceled after the studio determined it did not want to maintain ongoing service requirements.

Concord launched and was shut down within two weeks after reaching fewer than 800 concurrent players on Steam. The title had been in development for several years. Fairgame$ was announced in 2023. No additional footage has been released since the announcement, and the project’s studio head departed the company.

Reports indicate the game may shift toward extraction-shooter mechanics. Horizon: Hunter’s Gathering entered closed alpha testing three months after its announcement. The title presents a co-op format using stylized versions of characters from the Horizon series.

The Ghost of Yotei expansion added a cooperative mode but will not receive further content updates. Arrowhead plans to self-publish its next title.

Marathon, Bungie’s extraction shooter, launched three months ago and currently averages 10,000 to 11,000 concurrent players on Steam. Single-player titles remain part of the company’s release slate, including an upcoming game from Naughty Dog and a Wolverine title scheduled for release this year.
