Destiny 2 is celebrating a title: It was chosen as the best PC game of E3.
For almost three years, the MMO shooter Destiny has only been available on consoles. With Destiny 2, the franchise takes the leap to PC – and it does so with a bang!
The PC version of Destiny 2 was extremely well received at early play events. “Oh my God, this runs so smoothly,” judged several Destiny experts who previously only played on console. Because Destiny 2 has no upper limit regarding FPS on PC.
The controls and various gameplay mechanics had to be adapted for mouse and keyboard, which was the responsibility of Activision’s studio Vicarious Visions in collaboration with Bungie. Apparently, the adjustment was successful. The opinions are unanimous – Destiny 2 looks great on PC and plays great.
Thus, it was awarded the best PC game of E3 2017.
