The game will also be receiving a free weekend, starting today on PS4, and PC.
From the Tower…
Destiny 2 was in the news for a lot of reasons this week, here’s the breakdown:

- This week sees the return of the Faction Rally event (another first for the PC crowd!), together with new patches and modifications.
