Like the original, activities in Destiny 2 are divided among player versus environment (PvE) and player versus player (PvP) game types. Set in a " mythic science fiction" world, the game features a multiplayer "shared-world" environment with elements of role-playing games. It is the sequel to 2014's Destiny and its subsequent expansions. The game was published by Activision until December 31, 2018, when Bungie acquired the publishing rights to the franchise.

It became free-to-play, utilizing the games as a service model, under the New Light title on October 1, 2019, followed by the game's release on Stadia the following month, and then PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms in December 2020. It was originally released as a pay to play game in 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows.

You can expect the install size to shrink between 59GB and 71GB depending on the platform.īungie states that these improvements should also help control install sizes better in the coming years.ĭue to all these changes, Beyond Light will be a full re-download on all platforms and for those with slower or metered internet connections, don't worry: preloads will open on November 9 giving everyone around 10 hours to download before Beyond Light hits.

It also means that Destiny 2's install size will shrink by 30-40% due to a "combination of culling unused or replaced content," install size optimizations, and moving some content to the Destiny Content Vault. This is because with Destiny 2: Beyond Light, Bungie has revamped its content building and patching pipeline for "speed and install size." When Beyond Light is released, you will need to re-download Destiny 2, according to Bungie.
