In the lead up to the release of Destiny 2's The Final Shape expansion on June 4, Bungie is making three of its previous expansions free to play for a limited time. Between now and June 3, players will be able to play through Destiny 2: Shadowkeep, Destiny 2: Beyond Light, and Destiny 2: The Witch Queen in Open Access.

Destiny 2's next expansion, The Final Shape, is a pretty big deal for the game, bringing a close to the game's long-running Light and Darkness arc. Fittingly, Bungie is giving players access to more of that storyline for free while they wait for The Final Shape to release.

Included in Open Access are three out of four of Destiny 2's expansions, with only last year's Lightfall not included in the broader free access period. Only PlayStation Plus members will also get to access Lightfall for free, with Destiny 2: Lightfall included as one of May's free monthly games on PS4 and PS5.

It's a lot of content to play through in a month, so players will have to pick and choose which parts of each expansion they want to get sucked into. Of the three Open Access expansions, Beyond Light is the only one that adds a new DLC-exclusive subclass, Stasis, which can be unlocked by playing through its campaign.

If you're going after Stasis, keep in mind that players who unlocked Stasis in previous Open Access periods have reported that they later had to purchase the DLC to retain Stasis on their character. Players will keep all loot they earn during the Open Access period.

If three expansions aren't enough to get through in less than a month, make sure you check out the Into The Light content that will be leaving before The Final Shape launches, so you can plan your Destiny 2 sessions accordingly. You can also take a look at all the new Final Shape Exotics we know about so far.
