Destiny 2: Lightfall Will Require Xbox Players To Remove Six Expansions
In just a few short hours, Lightfall will arrive for Destiny 2, but the hotly anticipated expansion isn’t coming smoothly.

It's curious that these expansions are even listed on the next-gen console at all as they were all vaulted over a year ago. There's no way to access Forsaken, Curse of Osiris, or Warmind, with many of those destinations swallowed by the dark. That would explain why Destiny 2 wouldn't launch, but it doesn't explain why they're still present in the Xbox menus.
More Destiny 2 content is set to be vaulted when Lightfall arrives later today, which you can read about in
