Dataminers have unearthed evidence of a likely plan to implement a subscription service to Destiny 2. Bungie is now working on the next big addition for Destiny 2, Lightfall, which will be released on February 28, 2023. Bungie has previously described most of Lightfall, so if a subscription service was intended, it would have been publicised. However, it’s very plausible that such a service was contemplated for Destiny 2 at one time or another.
Destiny 2 is already quite well-monetized. Bungie has established itself as an industry leader in terms of selling live service experiences. The basic game of Destiny 2 is now free to play, although expansions are still available for a fee. Annual Passes are also available, containing seasonal content like new weapons, armour, and a varied spectrum of playable endgame material. There is also a premium currency, Silver, which can be spent on cosmetics and item packages in Destiny 2. It has also offered a Dungeon Pass and a 30th Anniversary Pack, both of which include additional content. Suffice it to say, Bungie increasing monetization is more than plausible.
