What subtitle did Destiny 2 use when it became free-to-play in 2019?

Destiny 2 used the subtitle New Light when its base experience became free-to-play in 2019.

New Light launched on October 1, 2019, alongside the Shadowkeep expansion. Bungie’s shift made the core Destiny 2 experience available without the original purchase, while premium expansions and other content could still be bought separately.

The free version also changed how new players entered the game. It reintroduced the original Destiny’s opening mission as a tutorial-style introduction, then brought players into the Tower and the broader Destiny 2 world. The release included substantial base-game activities and selected earlier content.

Forsaken and Shadowkeep were paid expansions, not the subtitle for the free-to-play edition. Red War was the name of Destiny 2’s original campaign. Much of that early campaign and other launch-era content was later placed in the Destiny Content Vault when Beyond Light arrived in November 2020.
