Which company originally published the 2014 video game Destiny?

The story behind the answer

Activision originally published the 2014 video game Destiny.

Destiny was developed by Bungie and released worldwide on 9 September 2014. Activision served as the publisher during the game’s original commercial release and the early years of its live-service support. The partnership was part of a reported ten-year publishing agreement between Bungie and Activision.

The game launched for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. It combined first-person-shooter combat with role-playing features and a shared-world structure, allowing players to undertake story missions, cooperative strikes, raids, and competitive multiplayer activities.

A later change in business arrangement explains why some references list Bungie instead. Bungie and Activision separated in 2019, after which Bungie took over publishing and self-published Destiny. That later status does not change the answer to the question’s wording: Activision was the company that originally published the 2014 game.

Microsoft Studios, Ubisoft, and Electronic Arts were not Destiny’s original publisher.
