Destiny 2 is an excellently optimized game. You can play it on any of your recently purchased gaming laptops. However, the higher the resolutions and FPS you desire, the more influential the machine will need.
Here are the official system requirements of Destiny 2 taken from Steam. These requirements apply if you wish to play The Witch Queen at 1080p resolution using a computer. Gaming laptop graphics cards are generally less potent than their desktop counterparts. If you want to play the game on a notebook, you will need to increase your system requirements.

Best gaming laptop for Destiny 2 at 1080p
The ASUS ROG Strix E15 Advantage Edition is an excellent choice if you want to play Destiny 2 at high frame rates on 1080p with the highest graphics settings. This AMD gaming laptop has the highest power per dollar of all gaming laptops and is priced less than $1,500. It also offers the option to have a 1080p screen with 300Hz resolution, which we recommend for maximum FPS. These gaming laptops below $1,000 are worth considering if you’re happy to play Destiny 2 at 60 FPS on high-medium settings or the highest settings.
The best gaming laptop for Destiny 2 at 1440p
You will need a gaming laptop to run Destiny 2 at 1440p/QHD. We recommend the Nvidia RTX3070 specced XMG Ne 15 E21 (in Europe) or Eluktronics MeCH-15 G3 in the US if you’re looking to increase the graphical settings. This is one of the most powerful RTX3070 gaming laptops, which competes with many RTX3080 machines and has a 165Hz display at 1440p. You don’t have to play the game at 1440p on low-medium settings, so take a look at our best gaming laptops under the $1,500 list.
The best gaming laptop for Destiny 2 at 4K
A powerful laptop is required to play Destiny 2 at the highest settings and achieve a constant FPS of 100 at 4K resolution. The ASUS Zephyrus with RTX3080 is currently the best 4K gaming laptop. It has both the power and the refresh rate to make gaming at this resolution possible. The 144Hz Razer Blade 17 with a 4K display is another option, but this is more expensive and does not have the same high TGP core components.
