The early access to the "Destiny 2" beta is a promo available to those who pre-ordered the game from a retailer participating in the promo. These include GameStop, EB Games and GAME, among others.
Physical pre-orders from eligible retailers will come with a card with the nine character "Destiny 2" Beta key printed on it. Buyers just need to present proof of purchase to get these cards.
Those who pre-ordered the game digitally from the PlayStation Network or Xbox stores are also eligible for early access to the "Destiny 2" beta. The nine digit Beta key will be sent by email for online pre-orders.
To use the nine digit key to unlock the game, players will have to head to the Code Redemption page, either through the "Destiny 2" beta website or through this link. A Bungie account is needed to use the Beta key, but it's easy to set up using the Sign-Up button.
For those who don't have pre-order keys, the beta is still open to console players everywhere, starting on Friday, July 21, just two days before the beta closes on July 23.
Meanwhile, PC players will have their own "Destiny 2" beta starting late August.
