Pre-Alpha
Select members from our community were given the chance to enjoy a hands on experience with Destiny.
Alpha-Info Explosion
Reporters were allowed to break through Bungie's doors to get the latest news on Destiny as well as enjoy the game for themselves.
Alpha-Bungie Employees---then E3
The picture above states that the Alpha download will be available on 6/3/2014. For right now only Bungie employees will be allowed to play this version of Destiny. When E3 hits I believe that those from Pre-Alpha and several more will be invited back to play this Alpha (in the comfort of their homes again) along side those attending E3.
Beta-Public
We have very little information on the Beta, but we do know that it comes out in July. All the members of the community that have preordered Destiny will be allowed to play. Common belief is 7/1/2014 for PS players and 7/7/2014 for Xbox players.
Beta-Closed
For those who don't know, a closed beta is beta that only a small group of "invited" people can play. There has been "NO" confirmation of a closed beta yet, but from previous experience it seems like a good possibility.
RTM-Release to Manufacturer
The term "release to manufacturing", also known as "going gold", is a term used when a software product is ready to be delivered or provided to the customer.
Official Release
