At Long Last, Destiny 2's PC Beta Details Are Here

At Long Last, Destiny 2's PC Beta Details Are Here

At long last, PC Destiny players, we have your beta details from Bungie. If you're eligible for Destiny 2 early access for the PC beta, you can start playing August 28, with the public open beta beginning August 29.

On top of the beta dates, Bungie also revealed the minimum PC requirements to join in on the beta. But if you have an older gaming PC, don't worry, you won't be left out.

Minimum specs call for:

  • either an Intel Core i3-3250 or AMD FX-4350 CPU
  • either a GeForce GTX 660 2GB or Radeon HD 7850 2GB for graphics.
  • Minimum RAM calls for just 6GB.

Overall, those are not very high standards. So if your PC has gotten a bit behind the times, Bungie still loves you. And the recommended specs aren't too far out of the realm of possibility for most PC gamers either.

The recommended specs are:

  • either Intel Core i5-2400 or an AMD Ryzen R5 1600X CPU
  • either GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9 390 graphics card
  • and only 8GB RAM

Bungie's own machine that they've used during events runs an Intel i7-7700K CPU and a collosal Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080Ti 11GB, but that's a little bit on the pricier side. Just, you know, a bit.

Granted, these are the specs to run the beta, and aren't necessarily the specs called for in the final game. If you're dying to play Destiny 2 on PC you might need to retire your dusty old graphics card and put up the cash for a newer model. Maybe not a 1080Ti, but at least something manufactured in the last two years.

The Destiny 2 console open beta was also extended so Bungie could perform "additional service testing." The PC beta is scheduled to conclude August 31.
