Battle.net. Additionally, new Guardians will have the opportunity
to try out Destiny 2: Forsaken’s new mode “Gambit,” from November
9th through 11th 2018, during the Gambit Free Weekend. Gambit is a

“We know Destiny players that want to play on PC expect an
amazing experience, whether it’s on their own or with their friends
-- so, our paramount concern was to keep the discerning
requirements of the PC community in mind, and welcoming the
Battle.net and Bungie PC communities together,” said Steve Cotton,
game director for Destiny 2: Forsaken at Bungie. He added, “With
this gift we look forward to seeing new Guardians in our
universe.”
The genre-defining Destiny franchise has received global acclaim
since its release in 2014, followed by a record-breaking Destiny
2’s PC launch in 2017, the largest PC launch in Activision
Publishing history based on units. Developed by Bungie, and brought
to PC in partnership with Vicarious Visions, Destiny 2 delivers a
native PC experience with PC-specific features such as: 4K
resolution support, uncapped frame rate, full mouse and keyboard
support with custom key mapping, text chat, adjustable field of
view, a detailed PC settings screen, 21:9 and triple monitor
support, and HDR. In the story of Destiny 2, the last city on Earth
has fallen and lies in ruins. Players must master new abilities and
weapons to reunite the city's forces, stand together and fight back
to reclaim their home.
Destiny 2 PC is playable on Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows
10. Minimum system requirements for the PC game are an Intel Core
i3-3250, Intel Pentium G4560, or an AMD FX-4350, along with a
