Activision Blizzard has revealed Destiny currently has more than 25 million registered users, compared with 20 million in May and 16 million in February.

The news comes as part of the company's official earnings report, with more information expected to come out of an investor call scheduled for later today.


The publisher didn't reveal how many accounts are still active, but players are averaging around three hours a day in the game, and it's also become the "most watched console game on Twitch."

Elsewhere on the shooter front, revenue from the Call of Duty franchise increased by a "double-digit percentage" when compared with last year. This was due to strong sales from older titles in the franchise, including Call of Duty: Black Ops, Black Ops II, and Advanced Warfare.

For the three months ending September 30, 2015, the company brought in net revenue of $1.04 billion, down from last year's $1.17 billion. Within this, however, net revenue from digital channels hit an all-time high of $697 million - this made up 67 percent of Activision Blizzard's total revenue. Last year, this figure sat at 38 percent.

All told, the company brought in a profit of $158 million for the quarter, down from $173 million at the same time a year ago.
