It’s been a packed week for fans ofDestiny 2, withThe Final Shape expansion suffering a significant leakafter it was accidentally made available early through Sony’s Playstation cloud streaming service. This leak resulted in tons of upcoming content, including weapons and raid gear, various story details, and even season pass rewards fromDestiny 2’s first episode, being revealed to fans early. While Bungie did warn players of the rampant spoilers spreading around the internet in this week’s TWID post, its most recent blog entry also gave fans an official preview of the new artifact coming with the expansion, as well as what players should expect in terms of downtime prior to The Final Shape’s release.
In addition to this information, Bungie also revealed the download sizes ofDestiny 2’s Final Shape expansionacross all platforms.

Luckily, players won’t need to worry aboutDestiny 2clogging up half a drive permanently after The Final Shape goes live. ForDestiny 2fans playing on PC, services such as Steam essentially allow both the current and upcoming versions of the game to be installed simultaneously, though the old version of the game will be replaced once The Final Shape launches, meaning the final file size will shrink down to a much more comfortable capacity.
Still,Destiny 2’s Final Shape expansion will bring a ton of new contentto the table, and the game’s overall file size will still seea substantial net increase with the expansion. The Final Shape represents the conclusion to a 10 year saga spanning two separate games, and will see players facing their greatest challenge yet upon the expansion’s release on June 4th.
