Destiny 2 developer Bungie has revealed that they’ll be enacting a season pass price hike once the next chapter rolls around. With Season 21 only a few days away, players will soon have to fork over more cash for this specific in-game microtransaction as its cost will reportedly rise from 1,000 Silver to 1,200 Silver.
Although the changes that are arriving with Destiny 2 Season of the Deep simplifies the in-game economy, its real life counterpart is seemingly set to become more complex. The main problem that players have with the Destiny 2 season pass price hike is that there currently isn’t an option to purchase 1,200 Silver exactly.
Instead, the only selections that you’ll be able to choose from include 500 Silver for $4.99, 1,100 Silver for $9.99, 2,300 Silver for $19.99, 2,500 Silver for $29.99, and a whopping 6,000 Silver for $49.99. This means that you will inevitably have to pay a little extra just to buy the newly-priced season pass.
With that said, you can always opt for the two cheapest offerings, which would give you a total of 1,600 Silver for only $15. Unfortunately, this still isn’t an ideal scenario for most players since you’re being forced to spend more money than you intend to. Because of this, fans have now started taking to Reddit to discuss this greedy tactic from the developers and vent out their frustration at the same time.
One particular Redditor noted in a post that inflation typically necessitates these types of price increases. However, this hasn’t stopped them from being disappointed at the fact that they’ll essentially have “to spend 50%” more just to get enough to buy the season pass. A commenter would then go on to suggest that “it’s time for silver to be added to the season pass” since other FPS titles like Fortnite and CoD already have in-game currency in theirs.
