Destiny saves span console generations, Bungie confirms

4.8
Bungie's upcoming first-person shooter Destiny will allow players to transfer their Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 save data to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game, studio investment lead Tyson Green confirmed with Polygon.

"We're interested in making sure that last gen characters can move to next gen," Green said. "A lot of people are going to buy Destiny on PS3 or Xbox 360 and then get a PS4 for Christmas. Don't tell me I wasted those last 100 hours there. So we're really interested in supporting that. Our longer-term platform plans, I couldn't speak to right now. But we don't want to lock people in."

Green did not discuss upgrading specifics, and notes that save transfers between platform manufacturers (i.e., from an Xbox 360 edition to the PlayStation 4 version) are typically "restricted by the platform [holders] themselves."

barker212 omly thing i am wondering is what happens with gamerscore on the one?

they are classed as 2 seperate games so do you get double the gamerscore?


Yes you can get the achievements twice


Yeah should hope so, you can earn the G on both consoles for FIFA and COD I believe.

It's nice that they're doing this, I like how they did that with CoD and Battlefield.

Gossip I think this is just a waste of time and that they should just make it for next-fen but their money hungry as everyone else so whatever.


Why is that logical at all? Next gen has total around 11-12 million consoles, last gen has over 150 million. Why on earth would a developer focus purely on next gen at this point?


I imagine they were primarily making it for next-gen (now current), but had also though about the people who would not make the jump right away.

It's a smart move, they may offer some "exclusive" offers on this gen's, which may make some want to buy an X1 or PS4.

I honestly like this idea i like that we can transfer are files from xbox 360 to the xbox one an the ps3 to the ps4.
