Destiny 2 vs Warframe vs Path of Exile vs Diablo IV vs The Division 2: Live-Service Player Retention

Destiny 2 vs Warframe vs Path of Exile vs Diablo IV vs The Division 2: Live-Service Monthly Active Players (2013–2026) Data Source: This dataset uses a synthetic live-service monthly active-player model based on launch timing, expansion spikes, Steam activity, console reach, seasonal resets, endgame updates, backlash periods, franchise fatigue, free-to-play access, and subscription effects. Destiny 2 is modelled around its strong 2017 launch, free-to-play New Light boost, major expansion rebounds, Lightfall-era friction, The Final Shape recovery, and post-saga decline. Warframe reflects slower early growth, strong free-to-play retention, major content expansions, cross-platform improvements, and durable community loyalty. Path of Exile is modelled around league resets, ARPG audience growth, major expansion spikes, and increased attention around Path of Exile 2. Diablo IV reflects a huge 2023 launch, strong brand pull, seasonal drops, expansion interest, and reduced retention after the initial hype. The Division 2 reflects its 2019 launch, Warlords of New York spike, later content gaps, and smaller but persistent player base. This measures estimated monthly active players, not registered users, total sales, revenue, review scores, or peak concurrency. #Destiny2 #Warframe #PathOfExile #DiabloIV #LiveServiceGames
