From Box Products to Live Service: How ’Destiny 2’ Transformed Bungie

In this GDC 2022 talk, Bungie’s Justin Truman dives into many of the changes and learnings needed to convert a studio used to building traditional AAA box products into a more authentic, modern Live service organization. This talk will take an interdisciplinary approach to discuss the process, mindset, and cultural changes required as Bungie transformed their approaches to prioritization, organization, and decision-making.
