Today has been quite interesting for Destiny 2 with the launch of the Shadowkeep and the Steam version. I myself have been sitting for about 3 hours waiting for the game to unpack despite having a good connection and a decent SSD. You’re not missing much if you manage to get in anyway because server issues and long queue times have already popped to the surprise of no one.
Luckily some good news has come with this new version of Destiny 2 as it already peaked at 214,100 players making it the biggest Steam launch this year. Most of that of course is due to the game going free to play after previously being sold on Battlenet since 2017. Bungie is aware of these issues and hopefully in the coming days things should be resolved and you’ll be able to enjoy Destiny 2 without much of a hassle.
We are continuing to investigate the issues that are preventing players from signing in. Please stay tuned for updates.

The latest issue of Gameinformer includes a ton of new information regarding Pokemon Sword and Shield. One of the most compelling facts about Pokemon Sword and Shield are the new gyms. There will be 18 gyms in the game, including minor and major leagues. Each gym should be dedicated to one Pokemon type like always. In addition, gyms may vary with each version of Sword and Shield. Here’s the excerpt from Gameinformer by Sword and Shield director Shigeru Ohmori:
“There are 18 different types of gyms in the story, and depending on the version, which gyms are in the minor league and which gyms are in the major league are different. For example, in Sword, the fighting-type gym will be in the major league, but in Shield, the ghost-type. The idea is that every year, the Galar region is playing and which gyms make it into the minor league versus the major league changes.”

*Update* The Pokemon Company has clarified a mistake made by Gameinformer. Pokemon Sword and Shield will not have 18 gyms in each version but instead have a similar number of gyms like previous Pokemon games. Gyms will be different in each version.
Serebii Note: @GameInformer has since been contacted by The Pokémon Company regarding the "18 Gyms" to be corrected that the gyms will be of a similar number to prior games but different between versions. https://t.co/gDbXkHSvkT
