If you skipped Forsaken, you can freely buy Shadowkeep on October 1 to start playing Shadowkeep content. Likewise, if you own Shadowkeep, that content will be accessible.ĭepending on what you choose to buy, not everything is going to be available for you. If you own Forsaken, for instance, you'll be able to jump into a Forsaken story mission. What's going to differentiate your game from mine is the content we each have access to.
New Light is the base Destiny 2 experience, and that includes those who got the game through PlayStation Plus on PS4, and those who took advantage of the free download on on PC.Īll versions of the game will receive the same updates, balance tweaks and so on.
When October 1 rolls around, everyone's Destiny 2 install - regardless of how or where they got it - will turn into New Light. You can just get Shadowkeep and ignore Forsaken, if that's what you're interested in. But that's not necessary now.Īs we're about to explain, you do not need to own past content to access the new stuff. That's it, though you can also pick up the Year Three pass if you want access to seasons/content coming over the next 12 months. The Forsaken Complete Edition is $25, and Shadowkeep is $35.
Things get a bit more convoluted when we get into Forsaken, however, but we've broken that down below.īungie also decided to include certain other pieces of content from Forsaken and Year Two expansions into New Light, on top of the full Year One package.
This is what you can download on PC, PS4 and Xbox One and start playing immediately. Destiny 2: New Light is the default Destiny 2 experience - the game's free-to-play version.
