New Destiny update is the final patch for PS3 and 360 owners

Bungie has rolled out the final scheduled patch for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of its shared-world shooter, Destiny.

While update 2.3.1.0 looks set to be the last major patch for the last-generation versions of the game, the developer has promised that it will address any potential game-breaking bugs down the line.

For PS4 and Xbox One owners however, the new update paths the way for the impending release of the Destiny: Rise of Iron expansion, which is scheduled to arrive on September 20. The pack is the fourth major expansion for the game and the first one to drop since last year’s Destiny: The Taken King. 

Destiny Rise of Iron PS3 isn’t happening as Bungie moves away from ‘Legacy Consoles’

As previously reported, Bungie is ceasing major support for the PS3 and 360 versions of Destiny in August, hence why Rise of Iron is a current-generation exclusive affair. The studio now refers to these platforms as ‘Legacy Consoles.’

In recent months, Bungie has opted to keep players entertained with time-based events, such as the Halloween-themed Festival of the Lost and Valentine’s Day’s Crimson Days. Meanwhile, April saw the launch of a major title update that revamped the Prison of Elders and other fresh content.

Destiny 2 is scheduled for release at some point in 2017, presumably only for the PS4 and Xbox One.
