Destiny 2's live-service era ends with Update 9.7.0: the Monument of Triumph update. Bungie's parting gift is the Triumphant Rewards Pass, a permanent reward track with no end date. It does not expire. It will not be vaulted. It will sit in your Rewards Pass screen indefinitely, judging you.
Unlike every seasonal pass that came before it, this one does not run on a timer. Finish it in a week or finish it in three years. The game will still be there. Whether you will be is your problem.
The pass lives in the Rewards Pass screen. It will not appear on the Monument to Seasons Past: because unlike those predecessors, it never ends.
Some of you already have it and don't know it. Lucky you. The Triumphant Rewards Pass free track is available to everyone. The premium track: the one with the cosmetics you actually want: follows this logic:
The pass is not required to play Monument of Triumph content. Sparrow Racing League, Pantheon, and the Triumph challenge system are free. The pass sells you cosmetics. As always.
Every item on the free track is earnable by everyone. The premium track rewards are locked behind purchase. Here is the breakdown:

The Score Boost is gone. It has been replaced with the XP Boost system. Mourn it quietly and move on.
The old Score Boost is dead. In its place: five stages of XP Boost progression tied to how far you've gotten on the Lawless Rewards Pass. Yes, your prior grind carries forward. No, you don't get to skip it.
If you completed the Lawless pass, you start Triumphant with boosts already unlocked. If you didn't: well, here we are.
The pass has no end date, which means there's no urgency. Which means most of you will procrastinate indefinitely. For those who won't:
Check vendor focusing options before burning activity currencies. Shaxx, Zavala, Saint-14, Banshee-44, Xur, Drifter, and Saladin have all been updated for the new system.
Bright Dust remains earnable. Weekly amounts have increased across all Seasonal Hub sources. Bright Engram Focusing is new: spend Bright Dust to guarantee a focused Bright Engram drop from a category you choose: shaders, emotes, finishers, Exotic weapon ornaments, or Exotic armor ornaments. Focused Engrams only award items you don't already own.
Eververse is shifting to an evergreen state. A Daily Offers tab launches immediately with Update 9.7.0, cycling Silver and Bright Dust offers each day. Broader Eververse changes roll out from June 23. Chronologs are now the primary buyback currency at Zavala: not Bright Dust.
Update 9.7.0 is Destiny 2's final planned content update. The game does not shut down: servers stay online, all content remains accessible based on your existing ownership. But no new seasons, expansions, or passes are coming after this. The Triumphant Rewards Pass is the last one. Ever.
As a send-off, Monument of Triumph brings back Sparrow Racing League permanently, installs Pantheon as a fixed endgame mode, and introduces a Legendary Marks reward system redeemable at four Tenet vendors in the Tower Courtyard. Notable earnable rewards include Chatterwhite, Superblack, Fafnir, Heir Apparent, the Immortal Legend Armor Ornament Set, and the Einherjar Coronet.
Legacy rewards from retired seasonal events: Festival of the Lost, The Dawning, Guardian Games, Solstice: have been redistributed into permanent vendor engrams and Bright Engram Focusing. They're not gone. They've just been reorganized into a system you'll have to learn.
Bungie is briefly generous. Log in when Update 9.7.0 goes live and receive:
Legacy accounts that participated in every major Destiny 2 expansion also receive the Old Lights emblem and the Elemental Qi emote. No action required: it's just there if you earned it. Destiny 2 veteran players who stuck around through everything get a quiet nod.
No. It has no end date and remains available permanently in the Rewards Pass screen after Update 9.7.0.
No. SRL, Pantheon, and the Triumph challenge system are free. The pass only adds cosmetics.
Yes. Renegades, Year of Prophecy, and Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition all include the pass at no extra charge.
No. Because it never ends, it stays permanently in the Rewards Pass screen instead.
Five stages of XP Boosts, up to +15% Personal and Fireteam XP, unlocked by Lawless Rewards Pass progress.
