PC Players, you are just days away from getting your hands on what PCWorld says is "One of the best-looking shooters I've seen on PC - ever!" Destiny 2 Beta for PC is set to open for pre-order early access on August 28th and the open beta just one day later on August 29th. The beta ends on August 31st for all. You'll be playing the opening mission, a cooperative strike, and competitive multiplayer crucible all in tasty 4K with uncapped frame rate.

To prepare for your next adventure, we've posted the following instructions straight from Bungie's website.

Step 1: Create a Blizzard Account

In preparation for Destiny 2, it is encouraged that all players who wish to play on PC start by creating their Blizzard account. Once a Blizzard account has been created, players may link it to their Bungie.net profile to gain access to the forums, special offers, and Companion features when they are available.

  • Players new to the Blizzard platform can create a Blizzard account by clicking this link.
  • Returning Blizzard players can log in to their existing Blizzard account by clicking this link.
  • Players who encounter an issue with their Blizzard account can find support by clicking this link.
  • Once players have access to their Blizzard account, they should link to an existing Bungie.net profile or create a new one.

PLEASE NOTE: Linking a Blizzard account authentication method on Bungie.net allows players to log in to their existing Bungie.net account with their Blizzard credentials. Players who do not yet have a Bungie.net account may choose to create one using their Blizzard account. Listed below are helpful links for players looking to link their Blizzard account to Bungie.net.

  • Players with an existing Bungie.net profile may link their Blizzard account by following the instructions outlined here.
