Review Destiny 2 (PS5) - A Solid Update for Hardcore Players

After teaming up with Activision to bring both the original game and this sequel to market, Bungie cut ties with the publisher to do it alone. And after expanding the...

There are so many versions of Destiny 2 in PSN that I spent some time looking for the right download.. there's "Destiny 2" without indication of PS4 or PS5, marked "unavailable", but clicking "Learn more" it threw me to a version (same name!) with release date today. Now downloading that on my PS5!
I've also played the disc-version and the PSN-version too, so maybe that complicates things. Good to see it still works regardless of all the versions I've tried and played.
