As Destiny 2's The Final Shape expansion hovers ever closer like someone gently nudged an absurdly large dodecahedron towards us in zero gravity, Bungie have gone and made three expansions free until June 3rd. For about a month, all players now have access to The Witch Queen, Beyond Light, and Shadowkeep along with the past four seasons of quests and things. Hey, that's pretty cool.
In order of release, you've got Shadowkeep, then Beyond Light, then Witch Queen. What's neat is you don't need to tackle them in any order.

The game's most recent expansion Lightfall hasn't been made free for PC players, which is a bit of a bummer (PlayStation Plus subscribers get it, though). Liam and I jumped back into Destiny 2 as lapsed players upon Lightfall's release, and found the expansion to be pretty rubbish,
