Destiny 2's Stadia population was never high, but it's shrinking to almost unsustainable levels in Season of Dawn.
You can see some drops from the other platforms, about what I’d expect given that there’s less to do right now in the game than there was a month ago, perhaps. But Stadia? Stadia’s population has fallen by more than 50%. By 58.7%, to be exact.
And honestly, it’s probably even worse than that, because in the week of Stadia’s launch, Founder’s units were still coming in and getting set up. This was also before the “buddy pass” system was implemented as well, which allows subscribers to give free trial access to Stadia to friends. Despite all that, we’ve seen numbers plummet.
Can anything change this trajectory? Well, there’s the obvious next step of Stadia debuting its free tier, the one that doesn’t require a subscription. But unless I’m mistaken, if you’re not paying for Stadia Pro, you don’t get access to its free game list, which includesso I’m not sure how much this will help if players then have to buy it separately. If I’m wrong and it remains free to everyone, then perhaps these numbers will see a boost.
I remain skeptical about Stadia’s long term prospects, but I am definitely curious to see where we are a few months or a year from now, especially after the launch of the new console generation. I also want to see how Stadia’s playercount reflects a new, big release like say,this spring, as that could be a good indicator of its health as well. I guess we’ll have to see.
