See You In September: Destiny Beta Comes To An End
The past week has given players a taste of what to expect from Destiny. The beta, which has been going on for just over a week, is now over. For some, it’s going to be a long wait for the next six weeks.
Bungie thanks you for playing. We made some great discoveries of our own, and we'll use them to make Destiny a great game for all.

Your mission in the Destiny Beta is complete. Your next adventure begins on September 9th, with the official launch of Destiny.

We expect that, just as with the alpha, we’ll have some interesting stats to share in the coming days. Let us know what you thought about your time with Bungie’s newest project.
Destiny will be out for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3 on September 9.
Our Take
I had a blast with the Destiny beta, even when an unkillable Ogre decided to have its way with me. The trip to the moon was a nice surprise, and joining up with friends was a great experience. There are things I’d like to see tweaked along the way, but I expect that Destiny will continue to evolve over its lifetime.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
