Today marks the official Beta launch of Bungie's mega expanding Destiny Universe. Players will take on the role of a recently resuscitated human hybrid, who must investigate an old crumbling Russian facility, while fighting legions of ferocious alien monsters in order to gain new abilities, armor and weapons along the way.
Since Destiny's Alpha launch last month, PS4.sx takes a look a closer look at what Bungie has changed in this exclusive Destiny Beta Preview.
A recent trophy list published on the PlayStation Network contains hints that Sony is testing PlayStation PC trophies.
Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.
That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it
This was back when the game wasn't free to play.
The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).
Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.
Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.
People spend way too much money on cosmetics.
Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.
Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well
It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.
Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.
For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.
By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

In Episode 1 of Spot On, a new weekly news show, Gamespot talks about the dangers of chasing a trend.
Reading this only makes me want to get online and play now, but the network is slammed. Any one else getting access?
Been online playing a few hours now, got work in a few but, don't want to log off in case I can't get back on. Maybe it will be easier later but can't risk it.
Apart from that, I am loving the Destiny Beta, definitely agree with some of the authors improvements, since Alpha.
This game gets me hype, I had almost forgot yesterday was the big day! I have the feeling some people will have withdrawal syndrome when the beta stops. Ill just jump back on DC Universe, man I love that game!
Codes all gone
Destiny on PS4 is amazing. I was surprise how a beta can look that good. I was totally convinced by it and will get it day 1 when it releases on september
