According to the latest batch of PEGI ratings, Destiny 2: The Collection, originally announced for Google Stadia Pro, is now planned for release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC as well. The all-in-one edition comes with everything there is to see in Bungie's shared-world shooter, namely the Forsaken and Shadowkeep expansions. The ratings indicate that the PC and console editions of the collection, as well as the previously announced Stadia edition, were filed just yesterday, November 19. It's worth noting that a rating from PEGI or a comparable ratings board is by no means confirmation of an upcoming release, but I'm inclined to believe there's some truth to these. With the release of Destiny 2: New Light, Bungie split Destiny 2's audience into two distinct groups: longtime players and total newcomers. Longtime players are used to Bungie's antics and have grown accustomed to split editions, expansions, and both season and annual passes. Forsaken, for example, had multiple editions, … [Read more...] about Stadia’s Destiny 2: The Collection has been rated for PC and consoles

It looks like Destiny 2: The Collection, one of the Stadia's launch games, won't be limited only to Google's streaming platform. It launched yesterday on Stadia, but PEGI ratings suggest that it will also be coming to PC and consoles. Since Destiny 2 is free, the appeal of the collected edition is the Forsaken and Shadowkeep expansions, which have to be purchased individually on PC. It's convenient, letting you dive into any part of the game you want without restrictions, but I also imagine it will be even more confusing as you figure out where to start.When New Light launched, I wrote that it did a bad job of acclimating new players, and incredibly Bungie has since revealed that this was in part by design. It doesn't want you to play through the game chronologically, experiencing the campaigns as they were released and learning about the often dense lore. Instead you're meant to dive right into the new stuff without the benefit of the years of context veteran players have. It's … [Read more...] about Destiny 2: The Collection has been rated for PC

In a big move for its approach to PC gaming, Microsoft has announced that it's planning to bring more Xbox Game Studios games to Steam, freeing them from the confines of the Microsoft Store. That store itself isn't dead and gone—it's part of Microsoft's plans for bringing the Xbox Game Pass subscription service to PC, which it also announced today. But it will no longer be the only way to play those first-party games on PC."Our intent is to make our Xbox Game Studios PC games available in multiple stores, including our own Microsoft Store on Windows, at their launch.  We believe you should have choice in where you buy your PC games," writes Xbox head Phil Spencer.In the past, Microsoft's support of Steam has been spotty. Most of its new games have remained exclusive to the Microsoft Store, which also means they're only available as Universal Windows Apps, a container used on modern Windows with a number of drawbacks for games. UWAs are not nearly as open to modding, … [Read more...] about Microsoft is bringing more games to Steam, says ‘We believe you should have choice in where you buy your PC games’
