Great, but predictable, numbers for the Destiny's beta have been confirmed by Activision and Bungie. A total of 4,638,937 unique players played the beta version of the game, from beta's beginning on July 17th (first only on PS3 and PS4, while Xbox 360 and Xbox One joined on Wednesday 23th) to Sunday 27th.
"This is the biggest beta of this console generation by a wide margin and the largest console beta ever for a new video game IP to date," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. "Hosting a beta at this scale is an incredible feat, so we're thrilled to see the phenomenal response. But the beta is just a taste of what's to come. We're counting down the days to our launch day, September 9th."
"We were totally blown away by the number of people who played the beta," said Pete Parsons, COO of Bungie. "We surpassed even our own goals and the feedback was invaluable. We cannot thank the community enough, the response was humbling and in the weeks ahead we'll be working hard to ensure that Destiny lives up to the expectations at launch."
Destiny will land on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One on September 9th. You can read our beta impressions right here.
