Hard Drive Requirements for Destiny: The Taken King and Destiny 2.0 Update
Destiny: The Taken King is now available for purchase and
will be available for play on September 15, 2015. On September 8, 2015,
we will be releasing a major required update that enables The Taken King and
enhances Destiny for all players. All Destiny players will be required to
download and apply the update to continue playing even if they do not purchase
Destiny: The Taken King. Here are some tips to help you be ready for this
update:
If you’re playing Destiny on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One:
Make sure that you’ve got enough storage space clear. You’ll need around 18GB free for the required update.
• To make sure you’re ready to play as soon as possible, consider turning on the automatic downloading of game updates on your console. Remember that downloads may incur bandwidth charges from your internet provider (consult your provider). For more details on these platform features:

If you’re one of the limited number of players
playing Destiny on a 20GB PS3 or Xbox 360 and have not already upgraded your
storage space, you will run into storage limitations on your console when you
attempt to install the update. Here are steps you can take to continue
playing Destiny:
• Upgrade your available storage with currently-available storage solutions. Links here:

• Upgrade your console – your Destiny Characters, gear, and progress will currently transfer if you upgrade either from PS3 to PS4 or from Xbox 360 to Xbox One. Cross family data transfer (e.g. PS3 to Xbox One or Xbox 360 to PS4) is not supported.
