Bungie has announced a 20% price increase for Destiny 2’s standalone season pass, but the studio says its all-in-one Annual Pass won’t be affected by the move.
Destiny 2 first added a battle-pass-style Season Pass as part of its third year of content, back in 2019. Since then, each three-month-long Season Pass has been priced at 1,000 Silver (approximately £9/$10 USD depending on premium currency bundle), making this the first price bump since their introduction.
Bungie’s newly announced 20% price increase – which won’t affect the Lightfall standard edition season pass or Lightfall and Annual Pass edition – means each new Season Pass will now cost 1,200 Silver. Additionally, Destiny 2’s Season Pass + 10 Ranks Bundle will cost 2,200 Silver instead of 2,000.
It’s perhaps not a huge change on the face of it, but, given the structure of Destiny 2’s premium currency bundles, it does potentially mean much higher up-front costs for players – who’ll now need to spend £4.49/$5 on a 500 Silver bundle plus £8.49/$10 on a 1,100 Silver bundle to join a season instead of simply purchasing one £8.49 bundle as was previously the case.
