The game contains frequent fantasy violence, and while not overly graphic, it is a core component of the gameplay. There are elements of compulsion-loop design through variable rewards and near misses, which can encourage extended play sessions. While microtransactions are not present in this expansion, the broader Destiny 2 ecosystem may involve them. The competitive aspects could potentially lead to some toxicity, and social comparison can occur with other players' gear and progress.

  • DSA:What Ludograph checks: whether the game's design gives minors the transparency the EU Digital Services Act expects: plain terms, honest defaults, and clear reporting routes.: Estimated from review data. No dark pattern or child-targeting concerns found.
  • GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.
  • ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.

These reflect Ludograph's assessment of the game's design practices against each framework's criteria, not a legal compliance determination.
