Awesome, thanks for the update.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

is that for digital or physical?

It's amazon, so physical.

Stealing this.

I'd love a code, but I don't wanna be a scumbag and preorder only to cancel.

..........

Amazon I think will live, lol.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

so it downloaded like 372 mb is that right? Do I need to open the client on my PS4 to get the rest?

To be fair that's not exactly a scumbag move. Not like they're losing anything, they can generate infinite beta codes.

 

[Dynomutt]

Will matchmaking work for all activities or is it only for multi-player? Like will the Homecoming mission be available to to match-making?

 

[adversarial]

The code Gamestop gave me didn't work... trying Amazon.

 

[anothertech]

Can you join friends /make fire teams in this beta?
Anyone know the answer to this?

 

[Okami Haundo]

That's not being a scumbag when the beta is basically a marketing opportunity.

 

[Trace]

Matchmaking will be for the strike/PvP, Homecoming will probably be solo but u can invite friends.

 

[Dynasty8]

I pre-ordered on PSN. Don't see the pre download anywhere.

 

[modsbox]

I'd love a code, but I don't wanna be a scumbag and preorder only to cancel.

Another option would be to preorder on Amazon to get the code, then wait and see if you really enjoy the beta.

If you don't canceling the preorder is entirely fair. You tried it out and decided you no longer want to buy it.

And if you like it, well then keep the preorder if you're going to go physical.

 

[Floody]

Pre ordered digitally in Germany. I can see the download now button, but it's gray-ed out. PS4.

Help?

I can downlod it, but there is a lock, is activated as primary. Weird.

Try restoring Licence. UK account but was able to download it fine without setting my account to primary.

Do I have to have PSPlus or Xbox Live Gold to play the beta?

PS store says Plus is required for most content. I think it's copy pasted from the base game though, but probably still the case. Xbox is probably the same.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

..........

Amazon I think will live, lol.

Nah it's cool, let him not be a scumbag and beg for a code instead. Some prefer begging than being proactive/showing autonomy. He's probably too used to being fed with a silver spoon, so excuses comes up as easily as throwing insults for him.

 

[Dynomutt]

Matchmaking will be for the strike/PvP, Homecoming will probably be solo but u can invite friends.

Kudos!

 

[ZeoVGM]

Oh man, the title screen music.

Seriously, just boot it up and let it sit for 10 minutes. It builds up to something pretty epic and after that, turns into a nice slow theme.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

Ok so those who preordered from Amazon and recevied there first code the actual beta code is there. Just repunch in your old code then view file and select the platform of choice and your code will be there.

 

[B D Joe]

Yeah id love a code but like others have said I would feel bad ordering then cancelling.

Is there another way to get one or is it strictly pre orders?

 

[Mikey Jr.]

so it downloaded like 372 mb is that right? Do I need to open the client on my PS4 to get the rest?

Nope, just start the download. It'll download everything eventually.

 

[Arrrammis]

Customer service rep I chatted with said that codes from Amazon are sent out 48 hours after the pre-order is placed.

 

[Bold One]

It's amazon, so physical.


wait what, so the beta only goes live next week? ... why is everyone so impatient then lol I thought it was live today.

if that is the case - I must beg for codes.

Please fellow Guardians, spare codes, please donate in my inbox.

Dunno man. Just scour twitter looking for one I guess. Maybe you'll get lucky?

Thanks. Was gonna check in with customer service for details.

Hi, I will be pre ordering this for my son

We gameshare on PS4, so I buy everything on my account and he can download onto his console

How will this work for the beta? If I pre order will he be able to use the code on his console?

 

[GreyWind]

Please fellow Guardians, spare codes, please donate in my inbox.

Which platform? if on PS tell me which region.

 

[8byte]

Asking again for the second page: Does pre-ordering hardware (Destiny 2 PS4 Pro) give you access to this?

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

Which platform? if on PS tell me which region.

PS4 North America if you still have them, please. Thank you.

 

[AfterTheFall]

Got my code from Amazon UK earlier. Now gotta to create an account on Bungie.net and redeem the code ready for play.

 

[purg3]

got my 2 codes through Bungie.net by signing in and going to my profile. Selecting "Codes" and picking my platforms.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Update: The title screen is still giving me new music after like 15-20 minutes.

He'll have to start the download through your account on his PS4, then it should work like every other digital game.

When you redeem the code download it to your console then sign out and sign in to your account on his PS4 and go to your download library and start the download on his PS4. When done sign your son account back in and you should be good to go.

 

[Bold One]

Which platform? if on PS tell me which region.

PS - EU

Yes, do you have the PlayStation app on your phone? If so what I do is go to the PlayStation store app through my phone then you will see the Destiny 2 beta already there if you downloaded it. Click on it and add to download que and the download will start on the gameshared PlayStation.

 

[Glowing Bovine]

Thanks, I just scooped one up from here.

Damn, I tried right when the codes were posted "just now" and every single one I tried was used already.

Could be because I'm on mobile so no copy&paste on FBs mobile site.

Guess I'll just have to pre-order and cancel.

 

[Landford]

Didnt manage to get one from the page, oh well, hahaha

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

By the way for people asking codes, are you all aware the beta is open for everyone starting july 21st?

 

[Hoodbury]

Not sure I want to download it quite yet and just have it sitting there teasing me.

 

[GreyWind]

PS4 North America if you still have them, please. Thank you.

Sorry I only had one

PS - EU

[Strangelove77]

Wow those Glixel codes went so fucking fast.

 

[Zaph]

Any spare PS EU code going?

 

[graybot]

Yes, do you have the PlayStation app on your phone? If so what I do is go to the PlayStation store app through my phone then you will see the Destiny 2 beta already there if you downloaded it. Click on it and add to download que and the download will start on the gameshared PlayStation.

Thanks I have pre ordered the special edition

But I see nowhere to download the beta

 

[Kudo]

If someone has extra code they don't have use for, I know I'd put it in good use and appreciate it.
NA/EU both work as I have accounts for both.

Does pre-ordering only give you access to one beta? I wonder how does it work if you pre-ordered for PC as that's later.

 

[pixxxelz]

I pre order it from amazon on Monday and still haven't gotten my code...

 

[hitme]

Someone start a code begging thread before this one gets out of hand.
