What is Destiny 2?

How much of Destiny 2's free content is in 2023?

Yes, you can join more standard online gameplay, visit planets and complete various missions. The game also tempts with both quick matches on the arena and long raids requiring the involvement of six-person teams.

As you can see, there is a lot of free content in Destiny 2, but if you're gonna keep playing, it is necessary to buy expansions. In this meaning, free-to-play version is kind of a big demo, through which you can judge whether you will like the game - without spending any money.

What we get for real money?
