Destiny 2 for PS5 and Xbox Series Release Date Announced

Destiny 2 will launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series on December 8, developer Bungie announced. It will be available as a free upgrade for copies of Destiny 2 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Here is an overview of the next-generation versions’ optimizations, via Bungie:

Other notes:

• We are offering Field of View customization on consoles for the first time. Our goal is to enable a FOV range similar to that on PC. We’re currently testing these settings to ensure smooth performance across each platform and will have additional details closer to launch.

• There will be noticeable improvements to things like loading the game and inspecting character inventory. However, some load times are dependent on networking and matchmaking. So, loading activities still takes time while you search for opponents.

• For cross-generation play, Xbox Series X|S players can play with Xbox One players. PlayStation 5 players can play with PlayStation 4 players.

Destiny 2 is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via Steam.
