Destiny 2 free-to play content witch queen

Since Destiny 2: New Light launched in 2019, the base game has been free-to-play. Initially, it was meant to give players a solid foundation and entice them to buy the latest expansion. However, as of Year 5, a lot of previously free content isn’t in the game anymore, leaving players wondering which expansions are free in 2022.

Which Destiny 2 expansions are free in 2022?

Destiny 2 free-to play content witch queen

Bungie surprised everyone when it generously offered The Red War, Curse of Osiris, and Warmind campaigns for free in 2019. However, the devs vaulted all that content when the Beyond Light expansion was released in 2020. An updated, longer version of the New Light introduction was released, but it doesn’t come close to matching what was removed.

As of Season 18, none of the Destiny 2 expansions are free. Those remaining in the game, Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, and The Witch Queen, are all paid content. Players can access some aspects of those expansions and the seasons associated with them for free, but most story quests require a purchase.

Unfortunately, those who are going the free-to-play route with New Light don’t have a ton to keep them busy. Bungie hasn’t announced any plans to bring back the vaulted expansions, so that won’t change until the New Light experience gets overhauled again if that even happens at all.
