The PlayStation 5 version of Destiny 2 is now finally available to download on the PlayStation Store for all, completely free of charge. The looter shooter made the transition to free-to-play a while back on PlayStation 4, so anyone with Sony's new console can start playing the base experience right away. And if you want to get straight to the latest and greatest the game has to offer, Destiny 2: Beyond Light is there ready and waiting.
As far as what this PS5 version has to offer for dedicated players, frame rate boots are the big talking points. All PvE content will now run at 60 frames-per-second, while PvP matches will double that to 120 frames-per-second. You will need a compatible 4K TV for that to happen, however. See our Best 4K TVs for PS5 guide for information. The former will run at a 4K resolution while multiplayer bouts will be lower. There will also be a field of view slider and shorter load times for certain aspects of the game. PS5 players can also continue to play against and alongside those still on PS4.
Do you plan on checking out Destiny 2 for the first time on PS5, or will you be picking up your character and progress right where you left off on PS4? Meet new Guardians in the comments below.

This and Cyberpunk all in the space of a few days, we're blessed aren't we!
I reckon I’ll give this a download, I’m curious to see what it’s like at 60fps.
Disappointed the update isn't using activity Cards or the triggers in a unique way. Hopefully it's patched in as they are perfect for this game. Especially the triggers in SP modes.
@Omnistalgic Probably due to their relationship with Xbox I'd guess, it happens sometimes.
Loved this back in the day, will go and download
Thanks 🤠
Destiny 2 is hanging 3 years in my ps plus library... maybe once it will be downloaded... does it have single-player campaign?
@djlard It did when I played it Or more like - it had some story content that could be played solo
I heard they were removing some content since and I haven't touched it in a long time so I'm not entirely sure that's still the case
@Voltan hmmm.... if there is no single-player, it keeps me cold.
@djlard the bulk of the single player story content is gone. You can still play most of what’s there solo...though for some stuff you’ll get paired with other people.
@shafedog247 Hah than, thank you, but I'm not interested in Destiny any more.... sad, so sad...
Played the PS4 version on my 5 and I couldn't imagine how much better it will get, still gonna try it out though. If it's not worth it, I will delete Destiny and move my copy of Cyberpunk to the SSD so it loads quickly.
also make sure you delete the PS4 version
@djlard you are a bit late, they removed most of the story last month, you'll now only have access to half the game
@djlard There are single player campaigns to play. Forsaken and Shadowkeep are free, and Beyond Light which is brand new.
@djlard
Except some endgame content, most of destiny can be played solo. It is an entirely different question if you should play it...
@DonJorginho What relationship with Xbox? Playstation have had Destiny marketing right all generation just like CoD. It mostly likely they don't have the funds to support exclusive features like this.
Man FOV and 60fps.... now if only they gave me the ******* option to turn off aim assist...
Wasn't going to download it...finally quit my 5000 hour destiny habit earlier this year.
But the promise of a free platinum saw me do it 😆
Played a little, set f.o.v to 105 and silky smooth 60fps was great. Not having to wait 20 secs to load the menu also great.
Not going to get sucked back in.
Downloading it now, Lets see If it will still be on my Ps5 on Monday LOL
Already deleted the Ps4 version after there was no trophy support for the new expansion, I have 100% Platinum for the Ps4 version, Trophy support keeps me playing a game........ gives me a reason to carry on playing it?
@MemSec @Jslade hmmm... maybe this puts this game back to the table.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi ohh noooo.... why? I mean just, why? Will they remove also Star Wars IV from entire saga, because it is too old? I will never understand to this moves...
The FOV slider is what I'm most looking forward to (when I manage to get a PS5). I'm never sure if I notice differences in framerates with my old eyes.
The coil whine is loud for me on this one on PS5 ;(
