Bungie has launched an open access period for Destiny 2, making all currently available expansions and all three active Episodes free to play for everyone. The promotional event runs until July 22.

What's Included in Open Access
During the two-week period, players can access all premium Destiny 2 content without paying. This includes every expansion currently available and all three Episodes that are active in the game.
The open access event is positioned ahead of The Edge of Fate expansion launch on July 15, which Bungie describes as "the biggest change to Destiny 2 since it launched."
Keep Your Progress After the Event
Players will retain all currencies, gear, Titles, Triumphs, and cosmetics earned during the open access period, even if they don't purchase premium content after the event ends. All progress made during the free period remains permanently on player accounts.

Steam Summer Sale Offers Deep Discounts
The open access period coincides with the Steam Summer Sale, featuring massive discounts on Destiny 2 content and expansions.
The Steam Summer Sale ends on July 10, creating a limited window for players to purchase discounted content while experiencing it through open access.
Previous Open Access Event
Bungie previously held an open access period in 2024 ahead of The Final Shape expansion release. The current event follows the same format, providing free access to existing premium content before a major expansion launch.
The announcement notes that while complete newcomers have plenty of free content available in Destiny 2, the open access period is particularly valuable for existing players who are curious about premium content but haven't committed to purchasing it.
