As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio.
Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to.
The first Destiny is still playable? Is it worth picking up? I don’t think I’ve heard a single mention of it since the sequel came out.
I was completely lost in Destiny 2 due to starting after they cut out half the story content. Would playing the first game help at all, or is too much just gone forever now?
The first game is playable but it’s only available on consoles, I haven’t played it myself but I heard it’s a good experience.
Sadly it won’t help you understand Destiny 2, as Bungie have completely butchered the game, removing key campaign-related content, entire playable areas (planets) of the game, and overall making the new player experience super confusing and unwelcoming.
The satisfying gunplay is unmatched but you have to consider if it’s enough to get into it
It’s console locked, so you’d need a PS4. I would argue it’s not worth picking up since like destiny 2 it’s built off several paid expansions for the full story that are not preserved (and not discounted)
You’d probably better off checking youtube playthroughs to be honest.
It’s fun and cheap. Runs on ps5 too.
