Bungie’s MMO shooter Destiny has been played for over 1.1 billion hours. The average player spends over 3 hours a day, far exceeding expectations.

At the GDC conference in San Francisco, Bungie announced the current figures for its colossus. This was taken over by John Hopson, who is responsible for user research at Bungie, telling the developers what players really want.

Man, if you keep playing so much Destiny, all your eyes are going to be square!

Numbers are gigantic

They currently have over 17 million registered players, 200 billion aliens had to face the consequences, and gamers spent 1.1 billion hours in the world of Destiny.

What is particularly impressive is the figure of “3 hours”; this is how much playtime the average Destiny player spends daily on the game. According to Hopson, they did not expect this number at all. They had estimated only 39 minutes a day at Bungie.

The average player has played Destiny for 77 hours and completed 200 activities.

The hours are distributed relatively evenly across the various activities. Only the Loot Cave messed things up.
