Since its release Activision has revealed via a press release that Destiny has never been so popular. According to the game’s publisher, the release of The Taken King saw more people log in and play than on the release of the original game back in September last year. In fact, the add-on has become the most popular day-one download in PlayStation history, according to CEO Eric Hirshberg.
