You can buy Destiny 2 for your Xbox One or Xbox One S today, and there’s plenty of things in it for you to do.

Destiny 2’s campaign and story related missions are streamlined, with a clearer narrative than the first game offered. Ghaul and the Red Legion are after the Traveler, the large orb floating above Earth that granted players their power in the first game. They storm the city, forcing players to help rebuild lost settlements and get their powers back by any means necessary.
