Destiny 2 goes free-to-play with New Light

Destiny 2 will offer a free-to-play version of the popular looter shooter to new players, developer Bungie has confirmed.

Called New Light, the free-to-play version of Destiny 2 will provide access to the current base game. Should players wish to continue beyond that content, any of Destiny 2’s existing or future content can be purchased piecemeal. Moving forward, New Light will actually become the Destiny 2 base game.

It’s already been confirmed that those who start New Light will begin at Power level 750 and will have the opportunity to play with friends — content licenses permitting, that is — after around fifteen minutes.

It was a big news day for Destiny 2 — alongside this free-to-play announcement, cross-save support, Stadia availability and details of its next expansion, Shadowkeep, were also made. Good way to start off E3 2019, eh?

Destiny 2 is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
