Sony accidentally leaks the whole of Destiny 2's latest expansion, as its game streaming service let players access The Final Shape days before launch

Destiny 2's hotly anticipated expansion The Final Shape has suffered an enormous leak just days prior to launch, after PS5 players were mistakenly allowed access to the entire expansion via Sony's Game Streaming service.

In what appears to be an oversight by Sony, Destiny 2: The Final shape had been pre-loaded onto Sony's servers for access on its streaming service ahead of the expansion's launch. However, when preloaded, the expansion was left publicly available, enabling players to access it early.

Nonetheless, a huge amount of information about the expansion is now spreading across the Internet. We won't go into specifics, but the leak includes details about weapons, armour, exotics, cosmetics, raid loot, the Season Pass, and parts of the first campaign mission.

It's worth noting that Sony acquired Bungie for $3.7 billion two years ago, and the relationship between the two companies doesn't appear to have flourished in that time. After Destiny 2 numbers dropped 45% last year, Bungie was forced to make
