Destiny 2 joins PS Plus, with The Final Shape updating the same day

Sony has announced that Destiny 2: Legacy Collection will join the PS Plus Extra and Premium libraries on June 9, the same day the game receives its final content update. The bundle includes Destiny 2 and the The Final Shape expansion, and it arrives just as Bungie has confirmed it will officially stop releasing online content updates for Destiny 2 next month.

In practice, this looks less like a routine catalog add and more like a closing move. For players who have never properly touched Destiny 2, the timing is unusually smart: you are not getting a partial sampler, but a package large enough to understand the game’s core loop.

That also gives the announcement a quiet sense of finality. Bungie has already said the game’s online content updates will stop next month, so this feels more like a last boarding call for new players than a push into fresh territory. The official line is that Destiny 2 will remain fully playable after support ends, and that the final update will improve the experience so players can return at any time. That sounds less like expansion and more like a tidy shutdown of the board.

On the systems side, Destiny 2 has never been the kind of game you can understand by mindless grinding alone. Its real barriers are class synergy, weapon perks, patch cadence, and raid roles. But after nearly 12 years of operation, even veteran players have had their patience tested by the cycle. Whether the game is still worth your time now depends on what you value more: a self-contained collection loop, or the constant tension of an evolving live service.

If you are a PS Plus Extra or Premium member and have never seriously played Destiny 2, this is the time to jump in. You save yourself the cost of trial and error. If you were hoping it would keep snowballing like a long-running MMO, though, the outlook is less exciting. Once support stops, the value shifts toward what is already there, not what might still be added. For completionists, that may still be a worthwhile endgame. For players who only care about what comes next, the appeal will likely fade fast.
