In a statement, Bungie has admitted that 400 players were wrongly banned from the game - but it has now corrected that situation, having previously denied there was any issue.

The statement read: "As part of our ban review process, we have identified a group of players who were banned in error. Those players have been unbanned.

"The bans were not related to the third-party applications listed above. We will continue to review the process we use to ensure a fun and fair game."

Prior to that, however, Bungie had defended its decision to ban the players from the game.

At the time of the widespread banning, Bungie said: "Bans were applied to players who were using tools that pose a threat to the shared ecosystem of the game."

Later, it added: "We did not (and will not) issue any bans for the use of overlays or performance tools, including Discord, Xsplit, OBS, RTSS, etc."

Bungie concluded its original statement by saying it is "committed to providing an experience that is fun and fair for the millions of players who have joined us in this community".
