From the beginning of the Beta until July 24, 2014, access to the Beta was available to those who had pre-ordered a copy of Destiny through participating retailers. Bungie also gave away Beta access codes on its website, on its social media accounts, through community sites (such as Destiny Wiki), and as contest rewards. Persons who had pre-ordered the full game could obtain one redemption code to access the Beta, each of which could be redeemed for 3 download codes on a specified platform.
