Destiny 2 With Shadowkeep Will Take up to 165 GB

Developer Bungie informed on Destiny 2's Steam page that Destiny 2 with the upcoming Shadowkeep expansion will take up 165 GB in total. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 installations will be similar in size.

As we know from June, after splitting up with Activision, developers from Bungie gained full control over the Destiny franchise and announced the release of the free-to-play version of the second installment of the series, along with all the add-ons released so far, which will launch on October 1. At the same time, the fans will also receive a new paid expansion titled Shadowkeep. Thanks to the official Steam website of the game, we learned that the add-on and the game will take up to 165 GB of HDD space. Bungie points out that this impressive number is not yet final (but will increase rather than decrease in the future).

Not only PC, but also PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users will have to face the challenge of finding free disk space. It is worth noting that even if we do not buy Shadowkeep and want to play only with the free-to-play version of the game, we will still have to download the entire expansion, because it will be part of the title update. For comparison, currently Destiny 2 with all DLCs takes about 85 GB.

To play the free version of Destiny 2, you will also need to download a paid add-on.

Bungie also provided specific information on transfering in-game PC profiles from Battle.net to Steam, which is due to start on August 20. To start the transfer of your profile, we will need to log in to this dedicated website. On August 21 the announced cross-save option will be launched, thanks to which we will automatically use our Destiny 2 account on every available hardware platform (PC and consoles).

Destiny 2 debuted on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 6, 2017. More than 6 weeks later a PC edition was released, which was available only through the Battle.net service.
