The latest Destiny 2 expansion, Beyond Light, will support free cross-gen upgrades for PS5 and Xbox Series X players, alongside all expansions for the game.
Announced as part of today's Destiny 2 reveal stream, players who buy Beyond Light on PS4 and Xbox One can expect to upgrade their copies of the expansion for free when they move onto next-gen consoles. Game director Mark Noseworthy confirmed that all content you own, past and present, will also be cross-gen.
On top of that, intergenerational cross-play was confirmed for Destiny 2. This means that should you be playing on PS5 while a mate is on PS4, you'll be able to match up regardless, with Noseworthy also mentioning that the team is also looking at full cross-play for next year.
It comes as part of a sweeping round of announcements for Destiny 2 that includes new subclasses that will be introduced in Beyond Light, a surprise new dungeon being added to the game today, as well as more info on what to expect from the series moving forward into 2022 with a trio of major expansions planned.
Fans of Bungie's series have plenty to chew over from all these announcements, and it looks like these new expansions will usher in a new design philosophy as well, with elements of the original Destiny returning to Destiny 2 as part of The Destiny Content Vault.
