Destiny 2's Ultimate Bundle: Is The Collection Still a Smart Buy in 2026?

Gamers are eyeing Destiny 2: The Collection with renewed interest after its release alongside the recent Monuments of Triumph update, which effectively bundled all existing paid expansions, content packs, dungeon keys, and raids into one purchase. Priced at approximately $69.60 on Steam, this represents a significant 52% discount compared to buying each piece individually, offering a potential hundreds of hours of gameplay for new and lapsed Guardians. However, the bundle's launch coincided with Destiny 2 entering 'maintenance mode', signalling an initial end to new major content updates. This shift sparked questions about the long-term value, especially after the lukewarm reception to the 'The Edge of Fate' expansion, which caused a player exodus, though 'Renegades' somewhat restored goodwill. The Collection notably includes major expansions like 'The Final Shape', which concluded the epic 'Light and Darkness Saga' in June 2024, alongside 'The Edge of Fate' and 'Renegades'. It encompasses five full expansions, four content packs, ten dungeons, and seven raids, making it a comprehensive offering. Crucially, Bungie recently announced a major reversal: new leadership has committed to restoring previously 'vaulted content' like campaigns, destinations, and raids, aiming to rebuild player trust and ensure Destiny's long-term future. While 'Monuments of Triumph' was considered Destiny 2's final major update, this commitment to unvaulting means the game's future is no longer just 'maintenance', but includes returning content, making 'The Collection' an even more compelling purchase for those seeking the full historical experience of the sprawling sci-fi shooter. Keep an eye out for potential further discounts during the Steam Autumn Sale in October 2026.
