Bungie will offer Destiny 2 in a base version with a free-to-play business model. In future, only extensions such as the new Shadowkeep DLC, which will be released on September 17, will cost money.

Also, the game will be released on Steam. Destiny 2 will carry the additional New Light in free-to-play form, reveals a mistake earlier reported on Engadget . In this basic version, the shooter includes all the game modes and content of Destiny 2, including those released in the first year after its release. Destiny 2 was already offered for free for a short time last year.  Also on the technical side Bungie changes a lot of things. Destiny 2 is no longer offered (only) through the Battle.net, instead Steam is the new home.

Bungie also officially unveiled Shadowkeep and Destiny 2: New Light. New Light will include the DLCs Curse of Osiris and Warmind of the first year as announced. Forsaken, on the other hand, has to be bought separately. The studio now has the freedom to develop Destiny according to their own ideas. New Light and Shadowkeep will be released on September 17th. At this point, Destiny 2 will also move from Battle.net to the Steam Store.
