Moreover, Gamespot also mentioned that there were rumors of "Destiny 2" would come to PC. These rumors were further bolstered by reports of leaked information speculating the release of the game to PC, Forbes reported.

Back in September, Forbes mentioned that users from NeoGaf, an online gaming forum, posted on the boards stating a supposed release of "Destiny 2" to PC alongside its 2017 release date.

The source went on to discuss in its article as to why it is a viable move for Bungie to release "Destiny 2" on PC.

Whether or not the game will be released on PC, one thing fans can expect for "Destiny 2" is that it'll definitely be coming in 2017.
