Destiny 2 is finally arriving today for PC gamers worldwide. This means 4K resolution and uncapped frame rate for Bungie’s multiplayer shooter and sequel to one of the biggest games of 2014. Unlike most PC games, Destiny 2 will arrive exclusively on Blizzard’s Battle.net - so if you’ve been looking for the best and cheapest deal for Battle.net keys of Destiny 2, you’ve come to the right place.
As of writing, we’re seeing about five deals available for Destiny 2 on the PC depending on your region. The discounts are probably not as high as you’d expect as a PC gamer, but given Activision Blizzard’s game is region-locked and activates on a platform they have a strong control over, you likely won’t see wild discounts on the game for a while.
Update: Some deals are now expired as Destiny 2 is now live on the PC.

If watching the gameplay video with the Coldheart seems to fit your fancy and playstyle and you’re planning to play during release week anyways - it would seem fitting to secure
Destiny 2 PC Unlock Times
Speaking of pre-order bonus qualification, knowing when Destiny 2 launch will be helpful in determining if your purchase will still qualify. Note that if you pre-order a physical copy at stores such as Best Buy, it’s very likely you’ll still have the pre-order bonus insert code in the box even if you purchase days after release. In terms of digital codes for Destiny 2 - you’ll have to make sure you purchase before the official launch time of 10:00 AM Pacific Time. Destiny 2 will launch worldwide at the same exact time, but that time may be different to you depending on where you live.
