Price Increase for Destiny 2 Season Pass
Bungie recently announced that the price for the Destiny 2 Season Pass will be increased. Season passes for Destiny 2 can be purchased with in-game currency called Silver, which can also be bought with real money. While the season pass is not a mandatory requirement, the benefits it offers can provide many players with a more intense gaming experience. Since each season lasts about three months, those who want to regularly purchase passes could expect higher expenses in the near future.
The current Destiny 2 Season Battle Pass could use some revision, but the current rewards are essential for those who want to get more out of the game. By purchasing the pass, players receive additional experience points (XP), allowing them to level up faster. Additionally, pass holders receive a small boost towards Season Pass leveling for a few levels at the beginning of each week. The benefits of the pass could thus benefit those who want to catch up to experienced players.
Details on the price increase and possible reasons
As announced in Bungie's weekly blog, the price of the Destiny 2 Season Pass will be updated starting from Season 21. Instead of the original 1,000 Silver cost, it will now be worth 1,200 Silver. A second option, which includes an additional +10 levels called "Season Pass + 10 Ranks Bundle," will change its price from 2,000 Silver to 2,200 Silver. The prices for the Lightfall Standard Edition and the Lightfall + Annual Pass Edition remain unchanged.
Although the price increase may be considered small, Bungie has not explained why it is necessary. Currently, the pass offers the same rewards at a higher price, which could deter many fans.
Impact on players and the game
Considering that each season lasts about three months and the cost of the season pass is increasing, some players may be forced to reconsider their spending on Destiny 2. This could lead to fewer players willing to invest in the season pass, which in turn could potentially affect the overall player experience.
Since Bungie has not provided concrete reasons for the price increase, it remains to be seen whether the additional costs will result in improved rewards or other benefits for players. However, it is important to emphasize that the season pass is optional and many players can still enjoy the game without it.
Conclusion
The price increase for the Destiny 2 season pass may not seem significant, but it could still have an impact on players' purchasing decisions. It remains to be seen how Bungie will implement this price change and whether it may bring additional benefits or improvements. Until then, players should keep an eye on the development and consider whether the season pass is still a worthwhile investment despite the higher cost.
