Bungie’s Destiny 2 is a multiplayer first-person shooter that can be played online for free. In 2017, the game was launched for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows as a pay-to-play title.
The New Light version went free-to-play on October 1, 2019, adopting the games as a service model; the game launched on Stadia the following month; the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions followed in December 2020.
Until December 31, 2018, the game was released by Activision. However, Bungie has since purchased the rights to the brand. Destiny, released in 2014, and its succeeding DLCs serve as its successor.
