Talking about the availability, the games arrival on Steam is big news and is expected to help Bungie rope in more new players Previously, Destiny 2 was available on Battlenet platform, but in the wake of Bungie obtaining the rights for the Destiny franchise from Activision earlier this year, the games developer is now free to move away from Activision Blizzards Battlenet platform and move to the greener Steam pasture Destiny 2: Shadowkeep will hit Steam on September 17 But thats not all Bungie will allow players to move current characters, gear, and progress from Blizzards Battlenet to Steam
But Bungie is not just content with Destiny 2s arrival on Steam, as the developer also wants to get more players hooked to the game To achieve that objective, the core Destiny 2 game will become free-to-play under the name Destiny 2: New Light The new avatar of the game will go live on September 17 for players on all supported platforms
Destiny 2: New Light is set to offer all the content that arrived within the first year of the games arrival such as cooperative quests, competitive modes, challenging endgame activities, and more With the move, the core game is free-to-play, and all further expansions and other content released later will be available on a paid basis Players also do not need to own previous expansions to play new ones Notably, Destiny 2 was made free for PC users for a brief period last year after BlizzCon
Finally, Bungie has also announced that Destiny 2 will support cross save across platforms, which include PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Googles Stadia game streaming service In case youve been wondering, Destiny 2s arrival on Stadia has already been confirmed, with Shadowkeep expansion and Destiny 2: The Collection said to be offered with the Stadia Pro service As for the cross save support, well, it will help players carry over their guardians and progression from one platform to another, be it Google Stadia, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or the PC version
Cross save support for PlayStation 4 was rumoured to be doubtful, but the same has now been officially confirmed Contrary to what you may have heard on the Internet, cross save is coming to all platforms: PS4, Xbox, PC, and Stadia Bungie and Sony are working together to ensure that cross save comes to PS4 when Shadowkeep launches, Destiny General Manage Mark Noseworthy was quoted as saying on Bungies recent Destiny 2 stream
