It’s been a tumultuous period for Destiny 2 maker Bungie since the studio was acquired by Sony. Recent financial data reveals that the acquisition has negatively impacted Sony’s finances.
In Sony’s Q2 2025 earnings report, the company disclosed a 31.5 billion yen (approximately $204.4 million USD) impairment loss related to a portion of its Bungie assets connected to Destiny 2. This significant write-down signals that the popular live service game has not met Sony’s expectations.
Sony’s CFO, Lin Tao, later confirmed these concerns during a Q&A session, as reported by Eurogamer. He stated that, “Partially due to the changes in the competitive environment, the level of sales and user engagement have not reached the expectations we had at the time of the acquisition of Bungie.”
This development highlights the challenges Bungie and its parent company face in maintaining Destiny 2’s performance amid a shifting gaming landscape.
