Destiny 2's Starter Pack DLC, which was originally released as a quick boost for new players, has been removed from sale after player feedback deemed it unsatisfactory. This pack, priced at $15/£12.99, included exotic weapons, cosmetic items, in-game currency, and crafting materials, which could all be collected from the special deliveries terminal in the Tower once purchased. However, player disapproval on platforms like Reddit and Twitter prompted Bungie to reconsider its value. Bungie has now officially confirmed the removal of the Starter Pack, citing community feedback and a desire to direct new players towards more enriching aspects of the game.

Alongside this news, Bungie also announced the delay of Destiny 2's Final Shape expansion from its originally set date of February 27, 2024, to June 4, 2024. This shift aligns with previous reports and comes amidst news of the company's layoffs. The expansion's delay allows Bungie to ensure the promised quality and scope are fully realized when it eventually releases.
