Those who pre-order the Xbox One version of Bungie’s open-universe shooter Destiny will be able to download the game’s data prior to its September 9 debut.
Earlier today, Microsoft unveiled its digital Xbox Live Marketplace listing for Destiny, which offers prospective players a choice of two versions of the game for pre-order: the relatively spartan $60 “Destiny Pre-Order Edition” which features the game and Vanguard Armory access, or the $90 “Destiny Digital Guardian Edition” which includes the game, a reservation for two upcoming expansions and a host of other bonus items.
Regardless of which version you choose, your pre-order will allow you to download Destiny to your Xbox One console at some unknown point before the game’s official release date. You won’t be able to play it early, but you’ll have everything ready to go the moment the game’s servers open to the public.
