The next major Xbox One game to get the 'Optimised' treatment for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will be Bungie's Destiny 2, and the developer has now shared more details on what to expect from it next week.
Arriving on Tuesday, December 8th, the enhancement will bring a variety of improvements to the game on next-gen, including boosted frame rates (up to 120FPS), faster load times, an FOV slider and more.
The developer says that regardless of whether you already have the Xbox One version of Destiny 2 installed, the Xbox Series X|S edition will require a full-sized download of around 70GB - so be prepared!
"When Update 3.0.1 releases on December 8, next-gen console users will need to download the full-size game, regardless if they have been playing Destiny 2 since Beyond Light’s launch. This does not affect Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or Steam users. Pre-load will not be available for this patch - pre-loads are usually only available for expansion type patches and are not available for hotfixes or seasonal updates."
Looking forward to trying out Destiny 2 on Xbox Series X next week? Let us know in the comments.

70 gb?!! 😳
I’m glad I stopped playing Destiny. Lol.
Crossplay without keyboard and mouse support, Meh!
@Xiovanni
How is that “proof the Series S can’t keep up”?
It wasn’t designed to be a 4k machine in the first place.
@Xiovanni
It’s a $300 machine. If you want 120 fps, then go pay $500 for the Series X. 🤷🏼♂️
Well as it stands now it takes up 65.7gb on my Series X SSD, so it’s not gonna get much bigger. What with Cyberpunk 2077 pre-downloads as well my broadband is gonna be busy next week!
It’s great they doing this, but please all developers let’s focus on new games next year please.
And hopefully some full on new current generation games only, taking full advantage. We are yet to see anything by anyone that says you can’t do this old generation. Then again I think I’m losing my battle as it is becoming all about 4K 60fps and sometime 120fps. With those specifications being used we will not see ground breaking levels of detail etc etc as all that extra power is being pushed to get 4K 60fps. Already most 60fps drop native 4K and some graphical effects let alone 120fps.
@KelticDevil
Totally agree it is a cheaper machine for lower graphical fidelity for those that don’t want the full on effect or maybe not have the tv or money for that.
Desperately need some more consoles over here in the UK, no stock anywhere.
Last generation was no where near this bad picking up a new console.
If either off the manufactures can get more stock than the other they would make a better start.
Devs obviously just did some lazy ass port that's why they don't even bother to optimize the data size for Series S
Would still like some more detailed specs on what is sacrificed for 120fps support
@Xiovanni anyone with that mindset would not waste their obviously valuable time reading xbox news sites, though.
@Tharsman
Exactly.
@Xiovanni
Maybe people don’t want to spend the extra $100 just to get 4k, especially if they have a 1080 TV. It’s all about offering choices.
If you don’t see that is Microsoft’s business model at this point, I’m not sure what to tell you. 🤷🏼♂️
@Xiovanni
Everything you just said, most people who would pay $300 for a console are not going to care about. The Series S is not aimed at people like you. That’s my overall point.
If you are that worried about tech, then buy a Series X. That is the whole point about having choice.
@Xiovanni
Once again....all of this is what YOU want & you, you, & more of.....you.
Do I want a Series S? Nope. I want a Series X. But you don’t see me in these comments complaining about the Series S, do you? Nope. The Series S will have it’s audience & people will love it.
And if you paid $200 more for just a disc drive.....well.....lol. It’s like the people that bought a $400 PS5 w/o a disc drive. You don’t hear them complaining even though they got completely screwed because disc drives don’t cost $100 these days. But, here you are.
Just enjoy your Series X & quit complaining about a $300 console that you were never going to buy anyways.
The Series S is a great deal for the tech inside (especially the SSD) & if you don’t see that.....well 🤷🏼♂️.
@KelticDevil I wouldn't even bother answering...
I wonder why setting your xbox to 1080p doesn’t result in smaller downloads. I understood that S would have smaller install size but it should be up to the user. There are X players out there with no 4k display
@Xiovanni if BC is a priority to anyine getting Series S, then the PS5 is a total non-starter.
How many would re-buy their whole catalog AND give up on GamePass?
There are a TON of people out there buying Nintendo Switch Lites over the standard unit despite it always running lower res, lower framerate, and lower detail levels, plus being incapable of hooking up to a TV, because it's simply cheaper.
Nintendo showed everyone the market WILL buy into a cheaper device simply because it's cheap.
I already have the game installed on my XSX, but I haven't played it in a few days. But I'll give it another bash after the update tomorrow!
@Xiovanni This has to be a fake account that only serves to annoy people
