You may have spotted the small print in Google Stadia’s stream earlier today, suggesting that Destiny 2 cross-save was pending a Sony decision. Well, according to Kotaku, the platform holder decided to enable the functionality on the PlayStation 4 – yesterday. That’s right, the Japanese giant left it until the very last minute before giving Bungie the go-ahead to allow players to transfer progression between the Xbox One, PC, Stadia, and the PS4.
It’s taken a while, but the PlayStation maker does seem to be open to this new-fangled cross-platform future now, so it’s not really a surprise that it eventually caved. It is interesting that the company made developer Bungie sweat for a while, though – it apparently only revealed its decision during a meeting yesterday, just 24 hours prior to expansion pack Shadowkeep’s unveiling earlier today.
In other news, Destiny 2 will not be receiving any more PS4 exclusive content, which has been a trend over the past five or so years. It makes sense, of course, as that arrangement was probably made between Sony and former publisher Activision; the latter is no longer involved with the franchise at all.

🎵'A whole new world, a new fantastic point of view! No one to tell us no, or where to go, or say we're only dreaming'🎵
Surely the exec's at Bungie must be singing this due to Sony's decision.
Ok, where's my old, stuck-up Sony, and what have you done with them?
Cross-play please? You’re doing better Sony.
It’s a brave new world
I think it's a great move that all platforms get the same content at the same time, it should have been like that since Destiny 1 for that matter for a game like this. Im currently play through the pc and PS4 version the latter having the Forsaken DLC but the PC I got when they have it away for free on Battle.net.
Does this save feature go like GTA5 once you pass it across that's it you only get to then play it on that platform. Or does the save play on any platform at any time so say I play on ps4 then decided to play on pc do I use the same save back and forth. If so I'll have to buy Forsaken for PC now as well but apparently since its going free to play the year 1 dlc is coming with it so Forsaken should be even cheaper.
At least we avoid another tedious round of "Sony are anti consumer" articles and comments
Cross play can be problematic in a game like Destiny.
But it’s great at least there is cross save. I was already wondering if I want to switch to PC, but now I just have to wait.
@AdamNovice But they are. If they weren't, I'd be playing Knack 3 right now.
@Octane Yeah but that's like saying commiting crime is bad, we know it's wrong
it also means that all content purchased on one platform is playable on all.
@3MonthBeef @Nakatomi_Uk all content purchased is playable anywhere on any device, there is now a base free version, all dlc saves across all platforms
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Thats interesting was wondering about that so if you get the "free" stadia version you get it on every other platform.
@bindiana yep, only you won't be able to play until November, new expansion is in September. I believe the stadia version also includes the year 3 season pass
