It appears that Engadget has spoiled Activision’s surprise regarding Destiny 2. While the publisher will hold a Destiny 2 stream at 10AM Pacific / 1PM Eastern, Engadget leaked that the base game will go free to play this September, will be renamed to Destiny 2: New Light, and it will be also coming to Steam.
Going into more details, Destiny 2: New Light will feature all year one content, including “foundational modes, activities and rewards.” What’s also interesting here is that going forward, no more content will be made exclusive to one platform over others (meaning that all platforms will have the same access to all content at the same time). In addition, cross-save will be added for Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia.
And if that wasn’t enough, Activision announced that it will be moving Destiny 2: New Light from Battle.net to Steam. Existing players willbe able to migrate all characters and purchases over to the Steam version once this happens.
I’m certain that this will please a lot of Destiny 2 PC fans who wanted to at least try the game. A free to play version of it on Steam is basically what most of them would have hoped and it is coming on September 17th.

Oh well good news. More players.
>In addition, cross-save will be added for Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia.
I guess Sony is still against it.
I can see why. If Sony allow it, many of their player base would go to PC.
No, they confirmed that PS4 also supports cross save.
Im curious about the migration to Steam. I thought Battlenet had a rather decent userbase.
They are no longer with Activision so they needed a new store.
Not even for free! Nope!

Now what KIM.?
We cant pirate free to play games. . .. .
Never played Destiny. Free on Steam, now?
And if your time to you is worth savin’ Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone…
For the Times They are a’Changin
Oh, I can just see the head lines now…
Week One: “Millions of people flock to Destiny: New Light. Great Success…”
Week Two: Destiny: New Light Playerbase has fallen to a record low.”
… Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Its all so tiring, all games we like have turned into some awlays online microtransaction lootbox scam, everything gets censored the msm are dying, the ad driven internet is dying, journalists are paid off shills and everyone is bowing down to the few looney sjws an the corporations who turn everything into sht.
Feels like the end of fight club cant come fast enough.
Well my friend that is why as of the beginning of 2019, I’ve stopped playing all always-online games or any MP games for that matter. I’ve gone back to 100% single player. I’ve always disliked playing always-online, I tolerated it because I invested so many years into Warframe. Then I realized it’s all a waste of time. They just up and change the game whenever they please for whatever cause they please. Game as a service is an absolute Waste of time. You’re just doing the same experience over and over with new paint. It’s a scam and basically purgatory.
But, it feels good to just sit and play my SP games again. No more, signing on for Daily’s, leveling up & making builds, only to be nerfed into the ground in order to get you to buy/grind/invest into the new eye candy, which will be nerfed at a later time. Always-online games are a joke and an utter waste of time. Glad to be done with that sh*t.
Destiny2 sold millions already this is not gonna hurt them in the slightest it’s actually a good way to advertise and get new players for the Y3 expansion
but keep thinking D2 flopped :p just like how people say BFV is dead yet servers are packed from browser section.
It should have been f2p like most AAA games these days, those monetizations are for f2p mobile games not for 60 to 200$ games.
Is there even a reason to buy games anymore? Ubisoft and Steam are keeping me well fed.
Got if free with a 1080Ti FTW3, but didn’t bother when I saw Blizzard’s launcher, I decided not to bother. Happy to try it once it comes to Steam, happy to see them publish on other stores.
oh boy, now thats a fall from grace from halo killer with a 10 year plan to a major disappointment to 50% sales down in the sequel to massive layoffs to abandoning activision to going free to play and back to steam.
But hey they deleted the KEK symbol because it was a “hate symbol” so GET WOKE GO BROKE.
Lul what a bitter noob,snowflake is still crying over a kek meme being deleted lmao
and you are delusional if you think Destiny 2 flopped, go check any of their expansion trailers and hype around them 😉
but then again a lot of people like lying and believing that lie about something they hate for no reason.
” you are delusional if you think Destiny 2 flopped, go check any of their expansion trailers and hype around them ;)”
Then why did activision drop em and they are going free to play?
Activision didn’t drop them. They dropped Activision.
thats it? Put some effort into it.
Destiny 2 is independent now, the developers split with activision and took their game lol stop blabbering if you dont know the details.
I guess they’re no longer pretending like this isn’t a F2P skinnerbox anymore
Naaah I’m good with Warframe

People here do realize that Bungie is out from under Activision, ya?
This move is made by Bungie, and I highly doubt Activision would have ever allowed it. They are too arrogant and proud to do so. It’d be like seeing CoD go F2P. They’ll bury the franchise in the dirt, before they ever let something like that happen.
On point, I couldn’t care less if this goes F2P or not. It looks boring as f***, and I have far better things to play.
Destiny Pooh: New Sh*te
let’s see what COD: BO4 will be.. wait i bought it. sh*t..
News flash. Bungie separated from Activision and they are self publishing now.
Jesus man… (John) You just reported the news that Bungie is separated from Activision a few months ago and you already forgot ?
Fix this: “It appears that Engadget has spoiled Activision’s surprise regarding Destiny 2. “
Wait what? Activision? I thought the Destiny IP switched over to Bungie and they have all the rights to Destiny now? Why is that still done by Activision? I’m confused
And if that wasn’t enough, Activision announced that it will be moving Destiny 2: New Light from Battle.net to Steam. Existing players willbe able to migrate all characters and purchases over to the Steam version once this happens.
So i own the game from bungie.net
I can transfer all to steam?
when I launch via steam and they ask me to login to bungie.net I login using my account and all will be transferred? answer please
you can carry your progress from blizzard version tho right?
