The last Guardians

Even if you haven’t spent the past week or so playing the Destiny beta, there’s a good chance that you’re probably a little sick of hearing about it. That’s because we’ve been overloading you with diaries, images, and stories from the frontline for the past seven days – and there are still plenty more to come. Still, if you’re eager to see if our excitement is justified, developer Bungie has opened the beta up to everyone overnight.

Previously, you needed a valid pre-order in order to take part in the studio’s demo cross stress test, but now you can simply download the client from the PlayStation Store on the PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 3. “The beta has been eye-opening so far,” said community manager David 'Deej' Dague on Bungie.net. “We've watched the world of Destiny come to life. We have watched your adventures with great interest, and listened to your feedback.”

Where is the Destiny beta on the PlayStation Store?

He continued: “Your missions have provided us with volumes of discoveries that we can use to prepare for the launch of Destiny in September. Our work is not done. There is more that we can learn. To make this happen, we need more Guardians to play. This is, above all else, a test.” The beta’s set to conclude sometime over the weekend, so if you want to take part, you’re going to want to set that 13GB download running pretty soon.

Will you be brushing aside your scepticism and giving this a go over the next couple of days? Scavenge for some uncommon loot in the comments section below.
