Here's the PSN US link:
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/destiny-2-beta/cid=UP0002-CUSA08415_00-DESTINY2BETA0001

I pre-ordered through PSN directly.

 

[weremichael]

Found it on the store. I had to click on the version that I bought and scroll down to find it.

Downloading my copy now. It's going to be a long wait until it becomes active.

I can totally see myself staring at the title screen for quite some time until tuesday.

 

[GreyWind]

The menu music is so good.

 

[Tovarisc]

The menu music is so good.

This is where you record it, loop it and put up on appropriate site.

Right?

 

[Lee]

Codes are available on Bungie.net. Go to your profile to the codes tab. You can get a code for Xbox or PS4 (America or Europe are my options) but no PC codes yet.

Right?

Wish I had a capture card

 

[deviant1]

Looks like Sentinel Titans now have voidwall grenades as an option.

 

[all of my hate]

It's also up on X1, too.

12.83GB.

Don't know why I got both consoles downloading at the same time.

Oh well, not like I got anything to do.

 

[Ryck]

Found it on the store. I had to click on the version that I bought and scroll down to find it.

I tried that to no avail.


Can't find the Beta anywhere.



EDIT: nvm it's up in the search now. ( just search for BETA)

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

wait, who is sending out the codes? amazon?

 

[JHall]

Looks like Sentinel Titans now have voidwall grenades as an option.

So Sentinel gets two supers and one of the best void grenades. I expect this subclass to be nerfed a month after release.

 

[MythicReclaimer]

One thing I've been hoping to see more of in the future is Class/Subclass based weapons that add some synergy to particular class abilities and a subclass in general similar to Ace of Spades, etc but more meaningful.

 

[Dthomp]

If you preordered through the PSN store how will we go about getting our download codes?

 

[Lee]

Beta is already ready to download for you.

 

[Dineren]

There is no code, just search for Destiny 2 in the PSN store or

It activates automatically for digital pre-orders. Search for "Destiny 2 Beta" in the store.

 

[katsubento]

Who's making the OT for the Beta?

 

[EL CUCO]

Ready for Destiny 1.5 beta 👌

 

[Lee]

Who's making the OT for the Beta?

None of the usual suspects has stepped up. It's been discussed in the Discord a bit. Noone has claimed it as of yet.

Correction - Zoba/TwilightGap is on it. Claimed it months ago. My bad.

 

[VE3TRO]

Thought some of you guys would like these plain loading screens from the beta startup which has the subclass icons.

Hunter

Titan

Warlock

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

FYI If you bought the game on XBox Live, you need to search for 'destiny 2 beta' in the store to find it— it doesn't show up in the live results either.

Ugggghhhh why tf are they reusing Rise of Iron campaign space for a D2 map?

I actually assume they re-used this from D2 development for Rise of Iron and not the other way around.

 

[Juan]

I actually assume they re-used this from D2 development for Rise of Iron and not the other way around.

I honestly think you assume the wrong way. :/ It is easier to drop old content into a modified engine (D2) than it is to optimise it for a older iteration of that said engine (D1).

While this is a cool throwback and an emotional one, it is really a good example (to me) of how Destiny 2 is really like a big expansion that could have been delivered to D1 like TTK and RoI.

 

[Dez_]

Got the 18th off coincidentally, so I am definitely ready to give this beta a try!

 

[Marvel]

Can't find it on psn.

 

[goonie]

Which edition did everyone preorder? I'm on the fence about the digital deluxe...

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Can't find it on psn.

Here is the URL for the beta on the PSN webstore:

https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/destiny-2-beta/cid=UP0002-CUSA08415_00-DESTINY2BETA0001

Otherwise, try searching for just 'BETA' on PSN.

 

[GlamFM]

Can't find it on psn.

Standard Edition - scroll down - demo

Yes yes

 

[Vic_Viper]

Has Bungie said anything about the Hunters getting a new sub class also?

I preordered at Gamestop and registered my code on Bungie's site, where do I get my code for the Beta? The link on PSN doesnt have a download option for me?

 

[MythicReclaimer]

About two months ago I told myself I wasn't going to participate in the Beta for the sake of making my initial Destiny 2 experience as fresh as possible, well, knowing good and well that wasn't going to happen I now have the Beta for both the PS4 (I can't even wait the extra day for the Xbox Beta to go live) and Xbox (my preferred platform) ready to go.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Destiny 2 start menu music.


for people stuck at work like me.

(not my video)

Music is PRETTY GOOD

LOL

its just the intro mission - one strike and crucible.

I plan on playing the first two things once then just play a SHIT ton of PVP for the beta.

 

[Marvel]

Standard Edition - scroll down - demo

Yes yes

Ty bro, I see it now.

 

[everyday math]

Bungie continues their trend of making the best title screens,

 

[GlamFM]

Ty bro, I see it now.

This is just the typical PSN bullshit where the download should have started by itself, but instead you get to hunt it down.

And it's not on the delux edition page, the one I actually pre-ordered - no no no - only on the standard edition page - for no fucking reason.

 

[chur]

You thought right. Thanks!

You need to go here: https://www.bungie.net/en/Profile/Codes/

Should see the platform selection for the D2 Beta.

Edit: oh hey the bwu: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46062/7_This-Week-At-Bungie--7132017

Looks like each class will get two subclasses to play with in the beta, so that's neat.

 

[katsubento]

Ah, cool! Mahalo!

Base.

"You've read first impressions and watched videos, but this will be your first true taste of what it feels like to be a Guardian in a new world. In addition to the new hotness, there will be some familiar (but updated) subclasses for you to play as well. The Beta will include Striker, Gunslinger, and Voidwalker with all of their Grenades, Melees and the top path of their abilities unlocked. The bottom paths will be saved for you to experience in the full game."

So the beta will have 2 subclasses per class, nice. There hasn't been confirmation before and some thought maybe it was just the three new subclasses only.

 

[Ramirez]

Gonna be soaking up that Gunslinger goodness.

 

[Marvel]

Exactly lol.

I have the deluxe copy ordered too, bit confusing. Ty psn haha

 

[MythicReclaimer]

Gonna be soaking up that Gunslinger goodness.

Yep, I just hope there is a piece of gear like Bones of Eao that allows the quad-jump to return in Destiny 2.

 

[Spades]

I now have the Beta for both the PS4 (I can't even wait the extra day for the Xbox Beta to go live) and Xbox (my preferred platform) ready to go.

Doing exactly the same as you my man! I'll put up with the DS4 for one day.

 

[Shiv47]

Yep, I just hope there is a piece of gear like Bones of Eao that allows the quad-jump to return in Destiny 2.

Then people will just complain about Bungie recycling exotics.

 

[all of my hate]

I'd like to see options to hide screen elements (like HZD, not just transparency), kinda wish the medals were off to the bottom corner like Halo.

 

[Spades]

Then people will just complain about Bungie recycling exotics.

Yeah, all new exotics please.

 

[MythicReclaimer]

Then people will just complain about Bungie recycling exotics.

Having the quad-jump ability back would outweigh all that in every way imaginable although the clamber ability will likely help out mobility quite a bit. In any case what other players decide to "complain" about has no reflection on my enjoyment.

Regarding Exotics, anyone who thinks there won't be similar perks/features to the current ones are kidding themselves. I mean I expect some truly unique ones but I also expect some very similar ones as well.

 

[ramyeon]

The beta client is going to be taunting me on my home screen all weekend
