Will the digital PC version of Destiny 2 be available via Steam? According to rumors, the answer is: Yes!
What has been speculated and puzzled over for months and years is certain since the end of March 2017: Destiny is finally coming to PC! While PC gamers have waited in vain for Destiny 1, they are on board with the sequel Destiny 2. Until now, the Destiny experience has been reserved for console players (PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 – since autumn 2016 only Current-Gen).
If you want to pre-order Destiny 2 for PC to secure beta early access, you can currently only purchase the disc version. A digital version is not yet available. Many aspiring PC Guardians are therefore wondering: Is Destiny 2 also coming to Steam?
Is Destiny 2 coming to Steam? What about the digital deluxe edition?
In recent days, concerns have circulated that Activision might provide its own launcher for Destiny 2. However, there are already enough platforms with their own game libraries and friend lists, such as Steam, Origin, Uplay, or Blizzard’s launcher. There is no need for another client. According to rumors, this is not necessary at all.
As Gadget 360 now reports, multiple sources have confirmed to them that Destiny 2 will use Steam. However, it is still unclear when pre-orders will begin there. There is also no information yet regarding the digital deluxe edition and what additional content it offers. There is no official statement from Bungie or Activision yet. Therefore, this information should be taken with caution.
Download size for the PC version
Destiny 2 will be large! This is already evident from a look at the provisional download size for the PS4. The main game of Destiny 2 will be 68GB, significantly larger than Destiny 1 with all expansions combined after three years (about 60 GB). However, it should be noted that these are only provisional figures. The GB amount may be adjusted before release.
If you believe various product descriptions, the 68 GB also applies to the PC version. Therefore, it is advisable to free up enough space on the hard drive before the release on September 8 (or even before the beta starts, which is rumored to take place in June).
