Ahead of the game’s October release date, the Bungie shooter makes its long-awaited PC debut as part of the beta.

The  has an August 28 start date and a 6pm UK start time for pre-order customers. That’s 10am PDT if you live in the US.

The open beta – which can be played even without a pre-order – starts a day later on August 29.

The shortened PC beta period ends just a few days later on August 31, although it’s possible Bungie will extend the beta like it did with PS4 and Xbox One.

The PC beta is almost identical to the Xbox One and PS4 versions, although there have been some gameplay changes.

Fans will also be able to try a brand new map. While PS4 and Xbox One players experienced Control on the Midtown map, PC players will battle it out on Javelin-4.

Bungie has also made changes to matchmaking, scoring and the way the game calculates skill levels.

It now takes less time to charge your Guardian’s Super, and you can expect more grenade damage and increased Power Ammo drops.

Likewise, a number of bug fixes have also been made to the various glitches discovered on console.

The only drawback is that The Farm doesn’t look like it will be playable on PC ahead of launch.

The Farm, which replaces The Tower from the original Destiny, is where players go to collect gear, check messages and interact with fellow Guardians.

It can host 26 players at any given time, and will continue to evolve as you complete missions.

But perhaps the most exciting new feature is the football pitch, which even comes with goal posts and a scoreboard.
