Destiny 2: New Light was a surprise drop in 2019 that allowed anyone and everyone to play a vast array of content for absolutely nothing, whether on PC via Steam, Xbox One or PS4. The response was instant, pushing the franchise out to brand new players and providing few barriers to entry in the process.

All things considered, the amount of content available without having to pay a cent is significant. Being able to jump in and explore the various locations with seasoned Guardians without having to fork out for the extra expansion content or season passes is a solid way of both advertising your content and demoing the experience without resorting to expensive, often non-refundable purchases. Having said that, even new seasons or expansion packs provide content that's free for all users, plus levelling up even without ownership of a season pass can still unlock rewards as you play.

The good news is, New Light looks sets to continue into the next generation of consoles in the future. That means, if you've never picked up or played Destiny at all, you'll be able to jump in and start from the beginning on either PS5 or Xbox Series X if you so choose.
