Destiny 2 builds on the success of Into The Light’s launch. This time around, three expansions, Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, and The Witch Queen, are free to play until The Final Shape launches on June 4.

The offer was announced today when it went live. The goal is clear: prepare new Destiny 2 players for the story of The Final Shape by letting them experience the storylines that led up to the present moment first-hand. The limited-time offer even includes all current seasons. Lightfall’s absence from the list is strange enough, but PlayStation Plus members can also enjoy it exclusively.
While content like the campaigns were only open to all players for a short period between May 7 and June 4, any expansions or seasonal gear they earn during that time will be theirs to keep, even after the offer expires. That makes the incentives for free players twofold: an offer worth taking advantage of to experience some of Destiny 2’s strongest narrative work via The Witch Queen, and also a way to get your hands on some of the incredibly powerful weapons that have released in recent years.
Some of these weapons, like Cataclysmic and Commemoration, are otherwise locked away behind the expansion’s raids, which will be available to all players in the same way during this time. Between the influx of new and returning players with Into The Light and the success of the new Fireteam Finder system, there’s nothing stopping even solo players from taking the chance to get their hands on these weapons.
