An accidental leak gave players on Sony's PlayStation 5 cloud streaming service access to Destiny 2: The Final Shape days ahead of the expansion's official launch on Tuesday, June 4. Posts on Reddit and on Discord servers leaked screenshots, videos and details about the latest addition to Bungie's multiplayer online shooter, which was fully playable for several hours, according to those posts.

Bungie confirmed the leak in a thread on X, saying that the expansion "was accidentally pushed live on PS5's streaming service." The studio said players were able to access the game campaign, collections and rewards. The thread encouraged players to avoid spoilers and to be mindful of others online. 

"It's always extremely difficult when our team's hard work is leaked early, but we are still excited for everyone to experience the full release on June 4 together," the thread concluded.

The Final Shape is a critical update for those who follow Destiny 2, as it's expected to resolve major plot points of the franchise's Light and Darkness storyline.

After the leak, spoilers about the game spread online, making their way onto social media and online video platforms such as YouTube, where some Destiny fans were advised, "Don't even go on Twitter until launch … the leaks are devastating." Some fans speculated that Sony might release the expansion early now that its contents are spreading.

Bungie did not respond to a request for comment.

The new expansion adds new options including a Banner of War weapon perk, a sword called Summum Bonum, lots of new equipment and a raid called Salvation's Edge. A post on X includes major details about that raid. One of the first missions is called "Pale Heart of the Traveler" and includes a tower. There appears to be a new interface for a Journey tab. While these spoilers may not mean much to casual players, they're sending the Destiny 2 community, which has waited for years for the game to come this far, into an existential crisis.
