Destiny Beta Dates Announced: PS4 and PS3 Receive First Access on July 17th

Bungie’s Destiny will see a beta this month for PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360 users after the widely successful alpha for PlayStation platforms this past June. The developer has now announced the specific dates for each platform and what players can expect.

The Destiny beta will be heading to the PS3 and PS4 first on July 17th and include some Story missions, a few PvP Crucible Maps and a Strike missions. The beta will then go offline on July 21st before coming back online on July 23rd. From here, Xbox One and Xbox 360 users will receive access which ends on July 27th. So yes, PlayStation users get roughly eight days of access versus four days of access for Xbox users. No bias though, right guys?

Destiny will be launching worldwide on September 9th. All those who pre-order their copy will get exclusive access to the beta once it goes live later this month.
