FAQs
I pre-ordered Destiny 2 on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store or Blizzard Shop. How do I receive Beta access?
If you pre-ordered directly on your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One you are already automatically enrolled in the Beta.
Quote from Bungie:
You will automatically receive beta access on the first-party store account that you pre-ordered with when the Beta launches.
I pre-ordered at a participating retailer and received a Destiny 2 Beta Redemption code. Where do I redeem my code?
You can now start your pre-loading of the Destiny 2 Beta. See next question for how to do that.
Go to https://Bungie.net/redeem and follow the instructions on the page. You will be required to log in with a valid Bungie.net account, verify your accessible email address, and enter your Destiny 2 Beta redemption code. At a later date, you will be contacted via your verified email address when you can return to the Bungie.net site and retrieve your Destiny 2 Beta download code. Codes may only be redeemed once, and redemption cannot be transferred or recovered to another account.
When will I get the Beta code to redeem on my console?
You can get it now.
Where do I redeem my PC beta code? Bungie.net only takes console accounts!!
Bungie.net now allows Blizzard account linking with their site.
You may now create a Bungie account linked to Battle.net, which should allow you to redeem your PC Beta Code. Please see THIS ARTICLE for information on how to properly link your account.
Is a Playstation Plus or Xbox Live subscription needed for the Beta?
NO! Players are not required to have an active PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Subscription to engage with the Destiny 2 Beta. It willhowever be needed for the actual game release for most activities.
