Grab ye ol’ Battle.net key
Summer is ending and the storm of Triple-As will begin anew. One of the first installment this Fall would beDestiny 2– which is finally arriving on the PC – though at a slightly delayed release date of July 04, 2025. (Whereas console bros will get a worldwide release date of August 05, 2025).
The savings grace is that given the game is releasing so soon, PC gamers can get a taste of the game in the upcomingOpen Betarunning from August 29 to August 31 – and even better as an added bonus, for those dead set on grabbingDestiny 2on release week, pre-order now grants you one day early access Open Beta on August 28 – Monday next week.
In fact, pre-load for Open Beta has already begun as of writing.
Like all PC big release beforehand, pre-order grants you additional incentives such as discounts and weapon bonus. Depending on your region, you cansave as much as 14% offwhen you pre-orderDestiny 2this weekend.
UK/EU Deals
Update: Pricing updated for the week of 10/20/17.
All deals above are Battle.net key, which as you know,Destiny 2is NOT coming to Steam. It’s a reasonable decision given Activision doesn’t really need to share their revenue with Valve (who only prints money these days instead of making games).
For those wondering, yes the game is region locked, so the copy being sold at GamesPlanet is available only to UK/EU gamers, whereas GMG has Battle.net keys for US gamers.
Pre-Order Bonuses for Destiny 2 on PC
Besides the aforementioned 24 hour early access to next week’s Open Beta, you’ll also receive the Coldheart rifle, an exotic weapon. Here’s the over-the-top description from marketing:
Coldheart Experimental energy. Deadly precision. Cold as ice. Pre-order Destiny 2 and get the Coldheart Exotic Trace Rifle.
Destiny 2 Digital Deluxe Edition
Both Green Man Gaming and GamesPlanet offers the pricier Digital Deluxe Edition, which essentially gets you the eventual Expansion Pass along with the added bonus of “premium digital content” this includes a legendary sword, legendary player emote (ooh), and a Cabal Empire themed emblem (ahh).
As the list price jumps from $60 to $100, you will be correct in assuming that the Expansion Pass has a $40 list price. The Expansion Pass is essentially a Season Pass which will contain two expansion pack, aptly named Expansion 1 and Expansion 2.
Destiny 2launches on the PC on July 30, 2025 – a 46 days delay which was announced back during June earlier this Summer.
