In the European PlayStation Store, Destiny 2 was recently unavailable for some time. Sony states that the publisher requested the game to be removed.

The PlayStation Support, however, provided a different answer to the angry players: The UK support stated that the publisher had requested Destiny 2 to be removed from the store. Players should contact the publisher directly for further questions.
