Bungie has put out some great news for PC players anxious to know when they might get their hands on Destiny 2. Pre-order players will be able to start playing on August 28th with all PC players able to join up on August 29th. The PC open beta will end on August 31st.
Oddly, these dates fall in the middle of the week, probably so that the Destiny 2 servers don't come crashing down immediately since more players tend to game on weekends.
This is not the last piece of news we’ll have for PC players prior to the Beta. In the weeks to come, expect us to sound off again with more details on how you can get the most out of your first steps in the PC build. Today, we wanted to let you know when the exercise will begin, and give you enough time – assuming you’ll even need it – to build the perfect rig. There's much more to come.
We’re looking so forward to hosting you for this crucial testing op. It’s been a long time since Bungie has served gamers on anything other than a console. This is an exciting time for us in our studio, and we’re packing a lot of love into the PC Beta. We hope you’ll join us for this tactical pre-party.
