Bungie has launched a major Destiny 2 update, and among other things it introduces enhancements for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Next-gen consoles can run the game at up to 4K and 60fps, with 120fps support for Crucible. The update is now live, and you can check out the full patch notes below.
Alongside the aforementioned changes, console players can now adjust the game's field of view, something that you'd typically only expect to see in the PC version of a game. The FOV slider is available on all three next-gen platforms, as are faster load times and 60fps support. 120fps support in Crucible, the game's PVP, is only available on PS5 and Xbox Series X (and you'll need a compatible display, of course).

Now Playing: Destiny 2: Beyond Light Video Review
Another big addition in this patch is the return of the Prophecy dungeon, which had been previously removed from the game. Players can receive one Pinnacle reward from completing it per week, with Powerful rewards available at each of its checkpoints.
One thing this update won't do, however, is bring back Trials of Osiris--you'll have to wait until December 18 for that.
Destiny 2 recently went through some major changes with its Beyond Light expansion, and the game will keep changing and evolving over time.
