Destiny 2: Beyond Light Requires Re-Downloading Base Game

3.4
Bungie will be revamping Destiny 2 significantly when Beyond Light, its next big expansion, releases in November. Much of the past content, from entire destinations to DLC campaigns, will be going into the Destiny Content Vault. This approach was taken due to the base game becoming too bloated.

What improvements will Bungie have though? In its latest weekly blog, it noted that Destiny 2 would have to be re-downloaded. The overall install size will be reduced by 30 to 40 percent thanks to the Destiny Content Vault along with optimizations and removing unused content. Overall, the install size should be between 59 to 71 GB depending on one’s platform.

Beyond Light will be available for pre-load on November 9th, allowing players with slower connections to have it ready by launch. Destiny 2: Beyond Light is out on November 10th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC, Google Stadia, PS4 and PS5. It will also be available for Xbox Game Pass subscribers (though they won’t have access to any seasonal content).

Since they moved from Activision there seems to be no thought process in to the access of the game, the whole converting the game to steam was a massive flop and a pain to figure out, moving your characters to different platforms didn't work great constant server issues.

Very nice getting rid of some unused content to take some stress of the old hard drive nice. Kinda suck you gotta reinstall base game but since it's going down 40% that makes it not so bad
