Destiny 2 Beta PC dates revealed, Recommended PC specs too

Details!

The beta for Destiny 2 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 has officially wrapped up. Plenty of folks found the beta to be exactly what Destiny needed, but PC players didn't get the opportunity to decide for themselves. Luckily, Bungie has shared when PC players can expect in the beta, as well as what kind of power their PC should have before they even try.

Destiny 2 PC Beta Dates

  • Early Access: August 28
