    Destiny 2 PC Beta Begins August 28; Minimum Requirements Announced

    The dates have been finalized for the Destiny 2 beta on the PC. Those who pre-ordered the game will get to play it starting on August 28. It then turns into an open beta on August 29.

Given how the PC release is already dreadfully behind the console release, I wouldn't get my hopes up too high for much of anything.
