Destiny 2 on Xbox Series X will boast 4k visuals and 60 frames per second, ensuring that it runs better than the current-gen versions of the game. Meanwhile, those who are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass will be able to play the entire Destiny 2 saga at no additional cost, as the Beyond Light expansion will be debuting on the service. Beginning in September, Destiny 2 and the previously-released expansions will also be available on Game Pass, giving fans some time to catch up for the new expansion.

The new Destiny 2: Beyond Light trailer shows off the Stasis ability that’s key to the new expansion, with the power used to create ice platforms as well as freeze and shatter enemies. Destiny 2’s Stasis looks as though it will have major implications not just for the first-person combat, but platforming and general exploration as well. Needless to say, it should be a significant addition to Destiny 2 when it becomes available in the game on November 10.
In the meantime, PlayStation gamers may be worried about what all of this means for Destiny 2 on PS4 and PS5. Bungie has stressed that bringing Destiny 2 to Xbox Game Pass does not mean that the Xbox versions of the game will be getting any exclusive content, so fans don’t have to worry about missing out. However, it seems as though the Destiny 2 PlayStation content exclusivity deal is no more, as Bungie has confirmed that Beyond Light will not have any exclusive content on any paltforms.
These are definitely consumer-friendly decisions on the part of Bungie, and could go a long way in encouraging more people to check out Destiny 2. Bungie seems committed to the game instead of moving forward with a Destiny 3, and so it will be interesting to see how it all plays out in the months ahead.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light will launch on November 10 for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions to follow.
