• The Final Shape Standard Edition (the concluding expansion of the Light and Darkness saga)
• Lightfall Standard Edition

• Beyond Light Pack (campaign is free, but the pack includes associated exotics and the raid)
• Shadowkeep Pack (campaign is also free, pack includes the raid and exotics)
• Forsaken Pack
• 30th Anniversary Pack
• Pit of Heresy Dungeon
• Shattered Throne Dungeon
• Grasp of Avarice Dungeon
• Over 50 Exotic rewards and the Prismatic subclass

What the Legacy Collection Excludes

Crucially, the bundle does not include dungeon keys for The Final Shape, Lightfall, and The Witch Queen. These must be purchased separately, typically through the in-game store using Silver (real money) . Community discussions consistently flag this as a pain point — you'll get the core campaigns and three legacy dungeons, but access to the more recent dungeons tied to each expansion requires an additional purchase .

Additionally, seasonal content from past years — battle passes, seasonal activities, and their associated gear — is not included. Much of that content was already vaulted or retired as Bungie cycled through the seasonal model .

Monument of Triumph: The Final Update

Bungie's blog post "Every End is a New Beginning," published on May 21, 2026, confirmed that Monument of Triumph will be free for all players . The update isn't a traditional expansion or story campaign. Instead, it's designed as a celebration of the entire Destiny 2 journey:

• Pantheon endgame mode: A new permanent mode pits players against buffed-up raid bosses, giving veterans a final challenge .
• Loot modernisation: Raids and dungeons receive updated loot to the current tier system. Destination-exclusive "memory lane" gear is folded into the tiered loot pool .
• New Exotics: A new Exotic hand cannon is included .
• Character send-offs: Small character beats provide closure for major NPCs, with easter eggs scattered across the solar system .
• Legendary Marks return: A throwback currency system makes a comeback, earnable through Triumphs .
• Quality-of-life changes: Bungie stated the update aims "to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to" .

After June 9, no further expansions, seasons, or major live-service content drops are planned. The servers will remain online, and the game will stay playable — similar to how the original Destiny is still accessible — but the era of active development is over .

Why Bungie Is Ending Destiny 2 Development

Bungie's official statement frames the decision as a necessary shift: "As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games" .

After The Final Shape wrapped the Light and Darkness saga, the studio signalled that continuing the current live-service model wasn't sustainable alongside new projects. The extraction shooter Marathon is the most concrete next project cited in coverage, with multiple sources indicating it is now Bungie's priority . Bungie has not announced Destiny 3, and based on current statements, the franchise enters a legacy maintenance state rather than building toward another sequel .

June 9 as a Closing Chapter

The PlayStation Plus timing is deliberate. By offering the Legacy Collection to Extra and Premium subscribers on June 9 — coinciding with the final update and the broader Days of Play 2026 promotion — Sony and Bungie are giving players one last, low-barrier way to experience the full arc of Destiny 2 . For newcomers, it's a massive amount of content for a subscription. For veterans, it's a poignant timestamp: the game's final new content and its retrospective bundle arrive in the same 24-hour window, closing a chapter that began in 2017.
