It’s traditional for Destiny 2 players to scramble to get a bunch of stuff done before a season ends, even more so when it’s right before a big expansion and a lot of content is being removed. That is true in the case of The Final Shape, but with an even bigger caveat.
The warning here is that there is going to be a full 25 hours of downtime before the launch of The Final Shape on June 4, but you’ll want to know all about pre-load and release times as well, no doubt. Here’sSome users may already be able to pre-download as of June 1 if you have auto update/download enabled on your system.
You’ll also need to prepare your hardware for how big this filesize is going to be an how much space you’ll need for preload, which on Steam in particular, is enormous:– Final install size 156.22 GB, Storage space for pre-load: 156.22 GB Even though the final size aligns with other platforms, Steam and Epic essentially download two copies of the game for preload, the new and old version, hence the huge size. You may just want to wait until actual launch if you don’t want to delete like five other games to accommodate this if your hard drive cannot currently handle it. I also believe you can uninstall the game then reinstall with the new version once the pre-load time hits to avoid this, then you just need one copy.
