Bungie Isn't Making As Much Money As Sony Hoped - IGN Daily Fix

10 months, 2 weeks - In today's Daily Fix:Sony has made it known publicly that their investment in Destiny 2 developer Bungie is not paying off they way the Sony had hoped. In a recenty financial report, the studio has failed to meet sales and user engagement expectations, about four years after Sony had acquired Bungie. The studios is currently in development in the long-delayed shooter, Marathon, as well as continuing to support Destiny 2. In more positive Sony news, Ghost of Yōtei has sold more than 3 million units in its first month, roughly on par with its predecessor, Ghost of Tsushima, which sold through 5 million units in four months back in 2020. And finally, Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition has been hit with controversy over its price and technical issues since being launched yesterday.
