The trailer for the PC beta of Destiny 2 is here. Graphics card manufacturer Nvidia takes the opportunity for a cross-promotion and shows what Destiny 2 has to offer on PC.
When does the open beta of Destiny 2 start on PC?
The open beta of Destiny 2 for PC will run for three days, from August 29 to August 31. That is Tuesday to Thursday.
Pre-orders of Destiny 2 through battle.net get a head start and begin on August 28.
The exact start times are not yet known. Since the console beta of Destiny 2 started at 7:00 PM, it may be likely that PC players can also start in the evening on Tuesday.
The beta should be the only time for PC players to test Destiny 2 for free. It should be the only opportunity to play Destiny 2 on PC until the PC release on October 24 – unless there is a beta phase/demo phase in between.
Do I need a key or code for the Destiny 2 beta on PC?
You do not need codes or keys for the Destiny 2 PC beta: It is an open beta – anyone can join starting August 29. Only pre-orderers get a head start 24 hours earlier.
Perhaps some keys will also be given away somewhere.
The trailer showcases the technical advantages of Destiny 2 on PC. Destiny 2 will support 4k and there will be an uncapped framerate.
In contrast to the Destiny 2 beta on PS4 and Xbox One, several improvements and a new PvP map have already been announced.
The Destiny 2 beta on PC offers the following content:
- The story mission “Homecoming”
- “Twisted Tower” strike
- Countdown in the downtown area
- Control on Javelin-4 (New map!)
Destiny 2: PC players get a better beta – extra map & improvements
Destiny 2 now on Battle.net
On Blizzard’s Battle.net, an icon for the beta has actually appeared. It is somewhat separated from the Blizzard titles and looks like a child that no one wants to play with, standing there all alone.
However, this seems to be just the “Buy this here already” button. A download is probably not yet possible – there are still a few days left.
What do I need to know to start the Destiny 2 beta on PC?
Destiny 2 will only run on PC via Battle.net. Anyone planning to play Destiny 2 should familiarize themselves with how to create a Blizzard account.
Anyone who wants to transfer an existing Bungie account to Blizzard because they have already played Destiny 1 can find information on that in this article:
