Destiny 2 will go free-to-play and come to Steam, leaked Shadowkeep details suggest

Another leak has surfaced regarding the future of Destiny 2 and Bungie - here's everything you need to know about the free-to-play move that Bungie is expected to make later this year.

[Evolve]

Well... we all saw this coming.

[Pepin]

Activision is barely out the door...

[lelo2play]

Got Destiny 2 from Humble Monthly Bundle and still haven't tried it...

[kevinsheeks]

i got it for free myself . . still haven't got into it :\

[YourSixStudios_YT]

It's hard to say the base game offer was "destiny 2" if you wanted to actually play they game, all the DLC should have been provided with PS PLUS.

[Sirk7x]

It's very grindy, but worth a play if you like shooters. Great mechanics, at the very least. The Forsaken expansion was very good, but again, end game in Destiny is just a very masochistic grind. You need to find regular people to play with to make any progress.

[Benoski]

Given how much D2 depended on it's micro-transaction garbage, going F2P doesn't surprise me.

Don't even try to give me the "It's just cosmetics!" nonsense either. Because that has done nothing to improve the situation.

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

Clearly you never played D2 because if you had you would know that it DOES NOT depend on Micro transactions. Stop repeating everything you hear. I haven’t bought a single micro transaction. There are ZERO guns or armor or abilities that are locked behind a paywall. There are cosmetics that’s about it. Destiny May be a lot of things but a micro transaction whore it’s not.

[kayoss]

It doesnt depend on Mircro Transaction, but it cheapens the game and when Micro Transaction get introduce, you know where the game is headed to. This is what the gamers dont want. Its similar to when DLC were introduced, players were worried that developers will use this opportunity to cut content and sell it as DLC. Which ended up happening to some games.

[bcrazy18]

They require you to buy annual passes to gain access to new content as in missions, etc. That is, in a nutshell, makes it depend on micro transactions.

I stopped playing after warmind because that DLC drop did not have a lot of content and then they make us buy another after that. No thank you.

[OnlyThoseOnTheFence]

You're right. It depends on players with alzheimers that keep paying for the same content over and over after the devs take items away and then use them as a tactic to get you to buy the next "expansion" under the guise of "we're listening to the players and bringing back _____".

[phoenixwing]

Well im actually pleased with this. Shows who the greedy company was out of bunjie or activision. Bunjie at least makes it free to play.

[demonicale]

You don't think it'll be full of microtransactions? nothing is free in this life.

[Shikoku]

Air is free

[opc]

air is free for now

[Almightsponge]

Only the base game is free, the rest is still paid content. Shadow keep looks really good

[mezati99]

well, i'll be 100% trying it now

[Pepin]

Definitely worth a play - impressive gunplay, even if they screwed the MP up from the first game

[Sirk7x]

They screwed it up at first, because everyone complained about the grind. Then when people breezed through the content too quickly, they complained there wasn't enough grind xD
Can't win.

[Butters360]

As a Destiny 1/2 veteran this is interesting.

[ECHOINFINITY]

TTK Era of D1 was one my favorite MP experiences since the Halo 3 days. Sad to see bungie dropping the ball so badly with the franchise. Hopefully they eventually redeem themselves.

[meep316]

I wonder if Activision was holding the quality of this game back, I wanted to get into it but it was not for me.

[theshredded]

I played Destiny 2, it had excellent gunplay but besides that everything else was so subpar. The game felt really empty, repetitive and lifeless. There are zero reasons to play this game over say Borderlands or Warframe.

[cellfluid]

Bout time.. More games will follow this suit

[Almightsponge]

Not free to play, the base game is becoming free

[Xavi4K]

Now we are talking...its clear how Activision made this game toxic...glad Bungie left them...no more exclusive content...going free to play..this will be a hit.
