Yes, you can play Destiny 2 Lightfall on an iPhone if you wish.
Like many other games that regularly receive major updates, Destiny 2 will suddenly swell in player count with the introduction of the next expansion. Lightfall will be released on February 28th and will do just that with the Bungie game.
Destiny 2 Lightfall introduces a new character called The Witness as part of a new campaign, which will also feature a legendary mode to offer players more armor. There’s also a new objective, Neptune, to explore, new strand subclasses, and brand new exotic weapons to collect.
Destiny 2 is a console and Windows PC game, so it cannot be purchased on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. However, you can still play the game on a Mac or your iPhone or iPad.
It just takes a little effort.
