Bungie announced it is raising the price of the Destiny 2 Season Pass starting with Season 21.
The price of the standard Season Pass will increase from 1,000 Silver to 1,200 Silver, while the Season Pass + 10 Ranks Bundle price will increase from 2,000 Silver to 2,200 Silver.
With the higher price, players will now need to buy two Silver bundles to purchase the Season Pass. 500 Silver is priced at $4.99 / £4.79 and 1,100 Silver costs $9.99 / £8.49.
"As our teams continue to invest in crafting compelling Seasonal experiences for the year of Lightfall, there’s a heads-up we wanted to give regarding a small increase in the standalone Season Pass price, beginning with Season of the Deep," reads the Bungie blog post.
"This will be the new pricing for Season Passes in Lightfall’s year for those looking to maximize their rewards with each new Season, and we’ll be evaluating new approaches to post-launch content in the year of The Final Shape.
"Pricing will remain unchanged for the Lightfall standard edition (which includes access to the current live Season at the time of purchase) and Lightfall + Annual Pass edition (which includes access to Seasons 20-23)."
Season of the Deep launches on May 23 at 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET / 6:00 pm BST.

I don't think I've ever heard of battle passes increasing in price. Destiny 2 is always amongst the highest earning games every year, and it's already insanely monetized. One of the most monetized games out there. And now being forced to buy 2 separate Silver bundles since Bungie doesn't offer one for the exact price of the new battle pass feels like a slap in the face to the community.
That's a 20% price increase. That's definitely not small. That's a huge price increase.
I did quit the game 2 years ago when they made dungeon access only for the deluxe dlc. You have to pay if you take only the standard edition to unlock them now and im glad i leaved. They are to greedy and it got really disgusting and now that..
I think they realize most of the people who still play this are whales who will support anything.
A price increase in the season pass is meh, whatever, but requiring you to buy $15 worth of currency to pay for a $12 pass is scummy.
I agree, except that most D2 players are r long-term players, and will be buying more than one season pass.
Still, they should come up with a 1200 silver bundle.
I'm glad I stop playing Destiny at the end of WQ year.
I refused to spend more time and money for Destiny after 7 years straight, and enough is enough.
If people still enjoy the game it's fine, I completely understand.
The fact they just keep dragging the story is the main big reason I stop playing it.
Go play Phantasy Star 2 Online instead
