The Game Post analysis shows Destiny 2 The Final Shape has the lowest number of pre-orders when compared to the pre-orders for the last three expansions.
To put this into perspective, Destiny 2’s previous expansion, Lightfall, released in February 2023, has around 2.249 million estimated lifetime pre-orders, The Witch Queen, released in 2022, has 2.244 million lifetime pre-orders, and Beyond Light, released in 2020, has 3.189 million lifetime pre-orders.
Here are the estimated pre-order numbers for all four expansions based on our analysis:
- Beyond Light: 3,189,075
- The Witch Queen: 2,244,640
- Lightfall: 2,249,679
- The Final Shape: 407,601

Surprisingly, the numbers for all four emblems are still rising to this day. It highlights that the data derived from pre-order emblems does not precisely mirror the actual pre-order numbers, but there exists a solid correlation between the two.
Our analysis also shows that The Final Shape expansion managed to secure roughly 15,000 pre-orders (~15,000 emblems were applied to the profiles) in the 15-day period starting from February 5th and ending on February 20th.
