In a launch that can only be described as massive, Bungie's newest franchise Destiny has crushed records to set titanic milestones. Counting pre-orders and yesterday's launch, Destiny had already sold a staggering $500 million. That's roughly more than 8.3 million copies. By the end of day one.
Welcome, Guardians, to a new home.
With today's launch of Destiny, we've just added even more features to DestinyDB!
Current features now include:
By midnight tonight, a legion of fans will finally descend on the world of Destiny. Most will be playing with a controller. A small percent will use a mouse and keyboard.
One of 2014's best games isn't coming PC. As such, PC gamers are finding a way to get their fix. With a peripheral costing $60 to $120, their input-of-choice is ready to go. Do a mouse and keyboard (M&KB) have an inherent advantage over controllers? Is it a problem? Let's ask a few questions and find out.

If you’ve been following either the Playstation 4 or Xbox One, you’re likely familiar with Bungie’s Destiny. For many of us, that was the big “you need these new consoles” title announced. The folks behind the original Halo trilogy were back with not just another first-person shooter, but their own take on expanding the genre. While the September 9th release date is still over a month away, Bungie has been bringing in players for alpha and beta testing of its game. Last week we had the first round of beta testing for prospective PS3/PS4 players, and this week the Xbox fans will get their chance to try it out. After some time with the alpha and quite a bit more with the beta, I’m ready to talk about my impressions of the game thus far.
"The Beta will include character creation, story missions,
cooperative and social activities, competitive multiplayer, and more."
Destiny is easily one of 2014's most hyped games. We've seen the E3 trailer and gameplay, but we want more. Bungie has obliged – on Bungie Day, no less! – by spilling the dates and details on Destiny's upcoming beta. But first: the beta trailer.
On July 17th, the Destiny public beta will kick off on the PlayStation 3 and 4, with the Xbox One and 360 systems following "soon after." Players who have pre-ordered from select retailers can redeem their code and prepare to jump into the action. If you haven't pre-ordered yet, hop over to the official site to find a retailer near you.
