[GazzaGarratt 11,227]

Heres the latest Q&A info to hopefully answer what the upcoming update means for Destiny as a whole:

 

Fall 2019 FAQ

 

Forsaken and New Light

Q: Will Destiny 2: New Light be its own separate game/file?

A: No. All Destiny 2 players will be automatically converted to New Light and will maintain all of their prior purchases and entitlements. 

 

Q: What Forsaken and Forsaken Annual Pass content will be included in New Light?

A: Forsaken content available in Destiny 2: New Light includes:

• Free roam on all destinations
• Strikes playlists
• Crucible playlists
• Gambit and Gambit Prime playlists
• Select Annual Pass content

 

Q: What Forsaken and Forsaken Annual Pass content will NOT be included in New Light?

A: Forsaken content available only with purchase includes:

• The Forsaken campaign
• Year 2 raids and dungeons
• Exotic quests

 

Cross Save

Q: Do players need to repurchase Destiny 2 on each cross save platform separately?

A: No. New Light will be available for free on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation.

• Cross save will preserve all gear, character, and items across all platforms regardless of entitlements.
• Expansion ownership (Forsaken, Shadowkeep) is tied to the platform’s store it was purchased on. Players will need to purchase expansions on each platform that they wish to play that expansion content on.

 

Q: Can players merge different characters, items, or Triumphs from different accounts?

A: Cross save does not feature account, character, or progress merging. Selecting a active account for cross save does not delete or alter the data of any other accounts. 

 

Q: Will Destiny 2 support cross-play matchmaking between different platforms?

A: Each platform will have its own matchmaking pool. 

 

Steam PC

Q: Which Destiny 2 purchases and entitlements transfer over from Battle.net to Steam?

A: The PC migration from Battle.net to Steam will include a one-time transfer of ALL ownership rights that a player already owns (expansions, Silver, account, Seasons, etc.). 

 

Q: Can players pre-order Shadowkeep on Steam right now and migrate their Battle.net account later?

A: Yes. Players may purchase Destiny 2: Shadowkeep from Steam’s product page now, and migrate their account at a later date. 

 

Stadia

Q: Can players pre-order Google Stadia Founder’s Edition right now, and setup cross save for their account at a later date?

A: Yes. Players may purchase Stadia Founder’s Edition from Google’s product page now, and enable cross save on their account at a later date. 

 

Q: Will Stadia feature cross play with Steam or other platforms?

A: Stadia is its own ecosystem, just like current existing platforms. Stadia players will only be able to play with other Stadia players. 

 

We'll try and keep this up to date with any further questions.
