Destiny 2 (opens in new tab) is out now, but it’s the Xbox version of the original game that just got a big ol’ heapin’ hunk of content thanks to the expiration of PS4 exclusivity. A handful of weapons, armor, quests, a Crucible map, and a Strike – all formerly …

Destiny (opens in new tab)’s weekend merchant and noted collector of china equine minatures, Xur, is back in the Tower.
