WhileHalo Infinitewas the reason why many gamers tuned in to the Xbox Games Showcase event, the real star of the show proved to be the Xbox Game Pass service. Microsoft’s gaming subscription service was given a significant boost by the Xbox Games Showcase event, as every title on display was confirmed to be coming to Xbox Game Pass day one. This includesDestiny 2’s upcomingBeyond Lightexpansion, though it was unclear if Bungie’s popular looter-shooter would be coming to the PC version of Game Pass as well.
The official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account has since provided some clarification. WhileDestiny 2and its previously released expansions will be coming to Game Pass on Xbox One beginning in September, those on PC will have to wait until 2021. This is unfortunate news for PC gamers who are looking forward to theDestiny 2: Beyond Lightexpansion, as it would have been a considerably less expensive way to jump into the new content come November 10. However, those who are willing to wait can look forward to playing through the entireDestiny 2saga on PC Game Pass in 2021.

It’s unclear why there is a delay forDestiny 2on PCcoming to Game Pass when compared to the console versions, but at least it’s been confirmed that it is coming eventually.
Destiny 2and its expansions coming to Xbox Game Pass is a pretty big deal regardless, as it should result in a big boost to the game’s player count. In turn, this will help Bungie maintain theDestiny 2community in the years to come, which it will need to do since it doesn’t plan on developingDestiny 3at any point in the near future.
Destiny 2coming to Game Pass wasn’t the only way the game was featured at the Xbox Games Showcase event. AnewDestiny 2: Beyond Lighttrailerwas also released, showcasing the new Stasis ability that fans will be able to utilize once the expansion drops later this year.
TheDestiny 2: Beyond Lightexpansion was delayedfrom its originally planned release date of September, but these extra months of development should help Bungie meet fan expectations come November.
