After Bungie posted a Destiny 2 State of the Game update that received some big pushback from players, game director Joe Blackburn uploaded an almost 17-minute vlog in which he responded to community criticism. In it, Blackburn apologized for recent decisions from Bungie, promised a major increase in new PvP content, and addressed several other complaints.

The biggest point of criticism from Destiny 2 players in the wake of Bungie's big update on the game was the studio implying that it simply didn't have the resources to deliver a more regular flow of PvP content, a section of Destiny 2 that has become notorious for being drip-fed new maps and modes over the years. Blackburn explained that Bungie is now aiming to deliver a big drop of new maps in 2024, which will be free for all Destiny 2 players.

"Next year we're going to change our philosophy. Instead of a slow trickle of maps throughout the year, we're going to focus our efforts into a single map pack that's free for everyone," Blackburn said. "So imagine new maps coming in one drop, so that we can make a bunch of new experiences that can all be good at specific things and has a big variety in a single drop next year."
