Xbox Game Pass includes more than just the base game, and will also net you both of Destiny 2's current expansions as well. However, this does not include the Season Passes for the expansions, so keep this in mind if you're wanting to go all-in with Destiny 2.

Beyond Light will bring 4K and 60fps support to the Xbox Series X, and the game will support Smart Delivery, meaning you'll always be playing the best version of the game for the Xbox you're playing on. If you're interested in grabbing and Xbox Series X or S so you're ready for Beyond Light when it launches, pre-orders are available starting now.
