In its latest 'This Week at Bungie' blog post, the Destiny developer has detailed some interesting changes coming to the last-gen versions of Destiny 2. In order to ensure that Bungie's ever-evolving shooter continues to work well on older systems, the team has made some changes to the way visuals work on Xbox One.
In short, Bungie has "modified some textures" for Destiny 2 on last-gen, including the Xbox One and Xbox One X versions of the game. Textures throughout the world of Destiny 2 have been altered to "reduce their memory footprint with minimal quality degradation".
These changes will come into effect when the game's upcoming 'Lightfall' expansion launches on February 28th, 2023. Here's a quick before-and-after comparison of Destiny 2 on Xbox One, although the changes seem more under the hood than anything else.
Are you still playing Destiny 2 on Xbox One? Glad to see continued support? Let us know in the comments!

You know...you can apply those same principles to the current-gen versions as well, Bungie.
I mean, if it visually has little to no impact on the look, why not reduce the memory footprint across the board? Nothing wrong with freeing up some resources to be used elsewhere, right?
Now that bungie is owned by sony/playstation and all upcoming expansions and patches release under the playstation brand does that mean destiny 2 is the 3rd playstation game on Xbox after MLB the show 21 and 22?
@darkswabber
MLB was not Sonys decision)
@Deadeye13 no but it is made by sony and sony holds the license.
Destiny is also not sony’s decision. They’re all still sony games on xbox 🤷♀️
@darkswabber
MLB push this not Sony and after this they renewed Sony license that it can't be exclusive.
@Deadeye13 I’m not saying it was a decision by sony I’m saying it’s a game made and published by sony.
Destiny would be even better if it kept content permanently. And if they didn't get Halo wrested away from them. Think they had the best storylines.
@Kilamanjaro halo definitely has a better story than destiny it's so hard to follow the plot of destiny you can really see the similarities it has with halo like the ghosts that are clearly those things from halo lol
@Would_you_kindly yeah Destiny is also hard to follow the order of missions. They could benefit from some clearly defined, linear story selection options.
