Destiny 2's Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, And Witch Queen Expansions Are Free Until The Final Shape Launches

Destiny 2: The Final Shape is set to wrap up the decade-long War of Light and Darkness story arc when it launches on June 4, but ahead of that, developer Bungie is giving players an easy way to catch up on previous expansions. Unveiled yesterday under the initiative name “Expansion Open Access,” all Destiny 2 players can access and play through the game’s Shadowkeep (2019), Beyond Light (2020), and The Witch Queen (2022) expansions. 

“Prepare for The Final Shape with three epic campaigns and earn an arsenal of exotic and legendary gear,” the Expansion Open Access trailer’s description reads. And speaking of trailer, check out the Destiny 2 Expansion Open Access trailer for yourself below: 

Now, of course, these three aren’t the only Destiny 2 expansions but they’re the only ones currently available to play through in the game. As such, it might be smart to watch a playthrough or read a narrative summary of all expansions released before The Final Shape next month. 

Here’s every Destiny 2 expansion/DLC released since the game’s launch: 

Curse of Osiris (2017)
Warmind (2018)
Forsaken (2018)
Shadowkeep (2019)
Beyond Light (2020)
The Witch Queen (2022)
Lightfall (2023)

The Destiny 2 Expansion Open Access period lasts from now until June 3. If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you also currently have access to Lightfall, making now a perfect time to catch up.
