Destiny 2 system requirements and beta dates announced

Now that the console beta period for Destiny 2 has passed, Bungie has announced its plans for the PC equivalent. And it's happening relatively soon: Early access to the beta (ie, access to those who have pre-ordered) will start August 28, while everyone else will gain access the following day. The period will wrap up on August 31 though, as is usually the case, it'll no doubt be extended.

"This is not the last piece of news we’ll have for PC players prior to the Beta," the announcement reads. "In the weeks to come, expect us to sound off again with more details on how you can get the most out of your first steps in the PC build."
