Humble Bundle has launched a major discount on Destiny 2 expansions that compresses $354 worth of content into a $28 bundle. For players considering a return to Bungie's looter shooter or diving in for the first time, the pricing structure offers flexibility: entry-level tiers start at $4, with successive increases unlocking additional expansions and bonuses.
The top-tier bundle includes multiple DLC packs spanning recent years: Beyond Light, Shadowkeep, Forsaken, The Edge of Fate, The Final Shape, Lightfall, The Witch Queen, and Bungie's 30th Anniversary Package. Higher tiers stack on lower ones, so purchasing at the $28 level grants access to everything, including the Year of the Prophecy Ultimate Edition and a 25 percent discount coupon for Marathon redeemable at the Humble Store.
The deal carries a charitable component: proceeds benefit the Bungie Foundation, which supplies hospitals with iPads preloaded with games, books, and media for patients.
The Catch
Destiny 2 carries some baggage that potential buyers should understand. Bungie has vaulted certain paid DLC content, removing it from play entirely. The move generated vocal backlash from the community, and understandably so. However, more recent expansions appear unlikely to meet the same fate.
New and returning players should also brace for a challenging onboarding experience. The game doesn't do newcomers many favors in explaining systems, progression paths, or where to actually begin. First-time players will likely need external resources to navigate the opening hours and understand what they're supposed to do next.
Despite these friction points, Destiny 2's core appeal remains intact. Bungie's signature gunplay stands out in the shooter space. The moment-to-moment combat feels responsive and refined in ways that most competitors struggle to match. For PC gamers specifically, the included Marathon coupon sweetens the offer further, shaving $10 off that game's regular price.
Players weighing whether to jump back in after time away will need to balance those gameplay strengths against the need to spend time researching systems and mechanics before things click into place. The bundle's low price significantly reduces the risk of that investment.
