If you play Destiny 2 On multiple platforms, enabling cross-save allows you to maintain your progress no matter what platform you're playing on, meaning you can finally move your Guardians, with all their loot, to another platform and jump freely between console and PC at your leisure. Here's how to do it, whether you want to transfer your account data between PC and console or vice-versa.
First, there are a few important disclaimers to keep in mind before enabling cross-save for your account:
- While the free version of Destiny 2 called Destiny 2:New Light , means you don't need to buy multiple copies of the base game to play on different platforms, you'll have to buy duplicate copies of the expansion-based content. Restricted content includes exotic weapons and armor, location-specific loot pools, raids, and dungeons.
- What is and isn't included in Destiny 2 Free content is often quite confusing. However, not paying is always an option and allows you to engage in stories and seasonal events, as well as PvP content and global loot pools.
- Also, all Silver (Destiny 2 in paid in-game currency of ) that you previously purchased will remain locked to your original platform and are non-transferable. You may want to exchange your money before transferring your saved data.
- If you already play Destiny 2 On two platforms, enabling cross-save means that Guardians on either of those platforms will be overwritten. However, Bungie says in its FAQ that cross-save can be turned off if you want to get your old characters back. If you turn cross-save off, you'll have to wait 90 days before you can turn it back on.
How to enable cross save
- Go to Bungie Cross-Save Login Page. First you will want to log in with the platform you have your primary Destiny 2 on. (with your favorite Guardians) linked to data, whether it's PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Steam or Stadia.
- After that, log into the account on the platform(s) you want to extend your account to. For example, if you're starting with a PSN and adding an Xbox Live account, you'll sign in to your PlayStation account first, then your Xbox account.
- No matter what platform you're switching from and to, Bungie does its due diligence by repeatedly asking you if you really want to enable cross-save. It also asks you to agree to terms that outline what Bungie will do with your data and affirm that you are giving the company the right to do so.
Soon after accepting, you will be able to access your account from the new platforms, assuming you have purchased Destiny 2 to play on it. When you log in to your Bungie account online, you will easily be able to see which platforms have access to which content. chaBungie provides convenient links on its site where you can redeem expansions and season passes.
