Need to understand, the why.
Simple question...why is "the other game" being advertised on a D2 app and also in game? Why not just create another app to push "the other game" notifications? Make it make sense.

Edited by Spawn: 2/27/2026 2:55:20 AMBecause they D2 "App" is actually just a companion app to the actual website, "bungie.net". Bungie has their own website and they want to showcase all games they make. It's no different than going to [url=https://bethesda.net/en-US]bethesda.net[/url] or [url=https://www.blizzard.com/en-us/]Blizzard.com[/url] and seeing all the games they make. Personally wouldn't be surprised if the Destiny 2 Mobile Companion gets a complete makeover or full on name change.

Make it make sense.[/quote] Destiny 2 app does an http GET from https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News with no filtering. That's your explanation. Why do you not have push notifications turned off for the mobile app anyway. Further it's Bungie's game, website, and app. They can advertise whatever they want.

10 RepliesChange the name o"the other game" or they will put you in the far corners of off topic. Even though its 💯 abput destiny in a destiny forum. Mods have been instructed to move all negative posts about Marathon to dark corners.

Obviously they'd like you to consider playing the other game they have created. I'm guessing that if you have downloaded an app for the other game you have already considered playing it. You can't really have a problem with this, do you?

in my opinion it's so you have Everything Bungie (Games) all in one app at your fingertips. Do you have 2 separate phones for the 2 friends / family you have? No you have one phone for all of them, all in 1 palm of your hand, ok maybe 2 depending how you hold it. Why? Easier Faster Convenient Less work for you but that's just me

D2 companion’s next update is gonna renamed to Marathon companion…

1 ReplyThe app is just a clone of Bungie.net. My guess is shortly after launch the app will be renamed
