Destiny 2 Cross-Save is live but poses installation problems

The long-awaited ability to move your Destiny 2 progression between multiple platforms should be launched today, August 21st. Specifically, the Destiny 2 cross-backup was to be activated in parallel with the daily reset, which takes place at 10:00 am Paris time. However, this time has passed without the arrival of cross – backup, and Bungie has now postponed maintenance related to the new feature.

[[[[Update: Bungie provided another update on the launch, stating that it would arrive at 12:30 pm Paris time / 3:30 pm ET / 8:30 pm Paris time (5:30 am, August 22nd). Based on our experience, the cross-backup page now works as expected, allowing you to connect your accounts, choose the Guardians group that will be your "active" and start playing on other platforms. Some players have reported problems with the authentication process, including "500" errors, but once everything is working properly, the Destiny 2 cross-backup works fine.]

In an article on Twitter, Bungie said: "The maintenance of Bungie.net for Cross Save has been postponed". He did not provide any other details than this and, since this maintenance is linked to the Bungie.net website, it is unclear whether cross-backing has been delayed. If so, it is also difficult to know how long the wait will last; Bungie is content to say, "Please wait for more information".

Cross-save was announced earlier this year and will allow players to take their guardians and equipment acquired and progress freely between PC, PS4 and Xbox One. This is not a crossover game, however; you can not play with a PS4 friend of your Xbox One, even if one of you can jump on the other's platform and follow your progress.

However, to do this, you must own the game on each platform on which you wish to play. It's here that things get a little complicated: a free version of Destiny 2, known as New Light, will be launched later this year. The release was scheduled for September, but it was delayed until October 1, alongside the new Shadowkeep expansion. With New Light, you'll be able to move from one platform to another, but some content, including Shadowkeep and all that has been released since last year's Forsaken expansion, will need to be purchased on every platform. you want to access. And although the PC version of Destiny 2 goes to Steam, if you're a console player who wants to switch to cross-saving today, you have to buy a bundled package on Blizzard Battle.net and then migrate to Steam Plus later.

At this point, it is unclear whether cross-backing will still be active today – the delay may take a few hours or days to what we know now – but we will let you know if and when it will be implemented. line. In the meantime, you can check out the new trailer of the first season of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep, centered around the Vex.
