The Destiny 2[1] PC beta begins soon. While the first instalment of Destiny skipped the PC in favour of consoles (it was on the PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, and Xbox One), its sequel won’t be making the same mistake. The PC version of Destiny 2 replaces the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions - no surprise since those consoles are over 10 years old. This is what you need to know about the Destiny 2 beta.
How to play the Destiny 2 beta
Similar to the Destiny 2 beta on the PS4 and Xbox One, pre-ordering grants you access to the game a day ahead of others. We won’t be surprised to see Bungie or publisher Activision give away keys on Twitter, and we expect Destiny 2 PC beta keys to find their way to sites like eBay. Considering the game costs Rs. 3,799 ($60 in the US), you’re better off waiting for one day to try the game, in our opinion.
Destiny 2 beta is not on Steam
Bungie has confirmed[2] that you’ll need ) that you’ll need Battle.net to play Destiny 2. This extends to the beta as well. Chances are if you play Overwatch, Diablo, Starcraft, or World of Warcraft, you know what to expect in terms of user experience.
