[2019] D2 Cross Save FAQ & Megathread

Original Post — Direct link

You can find the official page for Cross Save here!

To clear up some confusions around Cross Save and for having a central place to ask questions, we made this megathread. All posts asking about Cross Save from this point onwards will be relegated here.

FAQs

Do I need to take any action?

On PC: Yes. Since Destiny 2 will move to Steam on Oct 1st (with the release of Shadowkeep), you need to link your Battle.net & Steam account. You can do so on this page now. If you additionally wish to play on other platforms, you can enable Cross Save on this page starting Wednesday, Aug 21st (most likely at reset time).
On Consoles: If you plan to stay on your platform, no. If you want to switch around, you can enable Cross Save on this page starting Wednesday, Aug 21st (most likely at reset time).

Can I play all content on all platforms?

Until Oct 1st: No. Licences are platform specific. If you haven't purchased the game (and didn't get it for free as part of PS Plus / XBox Games with Gold), you can't play.
After Oct 1st: Destiny 2: New Light will be Free-to-Play on all Platforms. You can download it on any platform, link your account on Bungie.net, and have access to:
- Patrol on all Locations (including Tangled Shore, Dreaming City & Moon)
- The Campaign up until Forsaken (D2 Vanilla through Warmind)
- Strikes Playlists, Crucible Playlists & Gambit (Prime)
- Leviathan Raid, including Raid Lairs (Eater of Worlds, Spire of Stars)
- Some select Shadowkeep content
- NO ACCESS to the Forsaken Campaign, exotic quests, any Y2 Raid or Dungeon (Last Wish, Shattered Throne, Crown of Sorrow), Forges, Menagerie, most Shadowkeep content (including the new raid).
Please see also this image.
In the words of /u/Roketsu86:
- Cross Save is what you have. Gear, guns, consumables, shaders, Collection. This all transfers to any platform.
- Platform licenses are what you can do: Raids, Forges, Exotic Quests, The Menagerie. This is specific to any platforms you purchase licenses on.

I'm playing on multiple Platforms. Which Guardian will I have when enabling Cross Save?

When enabling Cross Save, you have to choose which platform is your current "main account", and it will take all data from there and make it available to other platforms. As detailed in the official FAQ, characters on "left behind" platforms won't be deleted - you can disable Cross Save to access them, though there is a 90 day grace period to enable it again.

Can I matchmake with players on other Platforms?

No, Cross Save does not equal Cross Play.

Can I play with one character on multiple platforms at the same time?

Most likely not, no. You can however log out on one platform (there is an option for this below "Change characters" since forever), boot up another platform and sign in there and have all data readily available.

Make sure to read through the official FAQ as well, as it answers more questions, for example regarding Silver. If you have any additional questions, leave them below.

The account I'm planning on transferring to PC tomorrow is my Xbox acc, however, I own the base game on bnet from when it was free. Should I:

A) Transfer my PC license to steam right now and then move my Xbox data tomorrow?

or B) Wait until tomorrow, set my Xbox acc as my main one, and THEN move my licenses to steam?

Hopefully, this isn't a really dumb question I'm just a little out of the loop with regards to how this transfer to steam is gonna work.

Yes, (A) is the right move. If you are both performing Blizzard-to-Steam migration AND planning to do Cross Save, you will want to link both your Blizzard and Steam accounts first. We have a little warning message on the Cross Save screen that will come up for people who have Blizzard but not Steam linked, to let people know they have to link both and kick off this migration process before they can cross save.

So its asking me to confirm for transfer. However, i only have 2 guardians right now, if i were to create a new guardian now, after confirming transfer will the new guardian also transfer over?

The PC Move display is just showing you what you have right now. If you create a new character, it will still be brought over when the move actually happens. Remember, the actual migration from Blizzard to Steam doesn't occur until Shadowkeep releases, you're just linking a Steam account so we know what Steam account you will be using to play Destiny 2 on.

Dear Edgar, please hook me up with some knowledge...

I just bought Forsaken and Annual Pass 1.0 on B.Net so that I can play everything up until October 1st. the transaction is pending so when I go to link my B.net to my steam it only says I have the base game, curse of osiris and warmind.

Should I:

A) Link the accounts now because the system will perform a secondary check before transferring licenses on October 1st

B) Wait until the B.net/Steam link process says that I have forsaken purchased because that's the point of transfer...

Thank you good sir.

Ah, good question! So the trick is that those licenses will definitely transfer from Blizzard to Steam whenever the migration executes. The migration itself isn't going to happen until the day Shadowkeep goes live, so until then your licenses are still on Blizzard and you can still play there even if you link your Steam account: doing so just sets up your account so that the transfer happens immediately when Shadowkeep launches.

I have heard some reports of people getting the wrong game purchases shown in that UI, and we're definitely looking into them. PM me your Bungie.net profile and I'll look at it! (and in the interim, a question: have you played on Blizzard since buying the Forsaken and Annual pass? Our UI won't update until you log into the game on Blizzard as logging into the game is the only thing that updates our information about what you've purchased, which could be what's happening)

So yes, go and link the accounts now!

What order should I do things if I currently only have a PS4 account, but am going to buy the game on PC tomorrow to start playing there. Should I set up my PS4 account as my main account for cross save, and then buy and set up the game on Battle net, and then link to Steam? Or should I buy the game, link to Steam, and then do cross save. I have never played or owned Destiny on PC,but I do already have a Battle net account, for other Blizzard games.

What I'd advise depends on if you want to make your PS4 characters active... I assume you will rather than starting over!

Given that assumption, you should:

Buy the game on Blizzard
Link Battle.net and Steam to the same bungie.net account that has your PS4 account
Then do Cross Save

Doing that will make all three Cross Saved, and Migration will work seamlessly to transfer your purchased licenses!

Note that the UI may show you the wrong licenses when you link Steam, because if you haven't actually played on blizzard yet Bungie.net doesn't have a way of knowing you bought the game. But the licenses will transfer.

hmm, can you try it again now? We were experiencing some unexpected difficulties earlier today, but things should be more smooth now.

Lastly, if you try it in chrome but hit F12 before you attempt it, do you see an error message in the window that pops up once you accept the agreement? If so, can you PM me what the error says?

Thanks for clarifying, Edgar. I have a question on the same territory. On PC I have just the year one base game + Osiris + Warmind and don’t plan to purchase Forsaken. After Oct 1st will that content be “converted” into New Light? Apparently New Light has more content (e.g.: free roam on all destinations, Forsaken strikes, Gambit) than my current Y1 entitlements.

Ooh, that is a good question! I don't actually know about how the New Light conversion works. I will ask some folks and see what the situation will be with that!

I have another question, I don’t know if this pertains to cross play but is there any talk of allowing legacy dialogue on PC for those who moved over during Warmind or Curse of Osiris. Seriously I just want that I don’t want to have to go through literally every story mission in forsaken again just to hear the legacy dialogue on my imported PS4 character. So again is there any talk of any form about allowing legacy dialogue on PC for pc accounts?

Ah, good question! Unfortunately we don't support the merging of accounts that would be required for that to occur at this time.

I already linked my Bnet and Steam accounts but I only have the base game on PC (I play mainly on PS4). Even tho I already linked my Bnet and Steam, If I purchase all the DLCs + Forsaken + Annual pass on Blizzard now, will they still transfer over to Steam once Shadowkeep comes out?

Yes indeed! No worries, the actual transfer of licenses isn't going to happen until Shadowkeep itself comes out - so in the meantime, all you're really doing is setting up the relationship between the two accounts in preparation for that migration!

Hey Edgar! Quick question, if I enable cross-save for my titan who I have on PS4, Will i be able to play on both pc and PS4 with that character whenever I want?

Or is it like I move my titan over to pc and have to move it back to PS4 when I want to play there?

Yes - so basically what you're doing is selecting a set of characters that will be the ones you use on all platforms. It's a semi-permanent choice: you can undo it, but you must wait 90 days before you can choose a different one if you undo it.

Once you choose those characters, they are the only ones you can play on any of your linked platforms. So if you have a Titan on PS4 that you want to play, you'll need to choose your PS4 set of characters: at that point, you can play those specific characters on PS4 and PC at will with no further ado!

Odd question here: what happens if I'm playing my cross-saved character on my PC and then I try to start up Destiny 2 on my Xbox One? I certainly imagine it wouldn't let me play, say, my warlock in two places at once, but what about warlock on PC and hunter on console? I own two separate licenses to the game to cover both platforms, but I'm guessing your back-end systems wouldn't allow one account to be accessed in multiple places at once like that.

Ah, so the trick there is that you're going to get kicked out of the PC session. If you spin up a new one, the old one gets booted out of the server.

Hey Edgar, first thanks a ton for helping to answer questions people have here. Second, the "account merging" option is something I had been hopeful for a long time. Not pushing it or anything, but the wording you use as "isn't supported at this time" raises some questions. Like many people, the veteran status isn't just some extra lines and some exclusive emblems no one else starting in D2 would get. It's that recognition of "you've done some serious shit in D1, now go kick a plethora of ass in D2 and take more names and titles."

It's understandable that account merging/veteran status enabling right now isn't an option, but your wording for "at this time" leaves a little bit of hope. I would like to ask just as a precaution of sorts, does your wording "at this time" mean "we're talking about it internally and it could be something in the future, but it's highly uncertain" or is it more "logistics wise that's man power being taken away from working on shadow keep and seasons that can't be spared"?

EDIT: Just to clarify, yeah I get it it's a question that has been asked Bungie knows how many times. The reason asking for more clarification is, time is very valuable. There have been countless hours poured into D1 and D2, across millions of accounts. Some of those accounts couldn't wait to play D2 when it launched so they bought it for console and learned "hey, this veteran status is pretty neat. My character knows all the information learned back in D1!" Then the leap to PC came with 60fps, mouse and keyboard, and 4k resolution. Some of us made that jump, committing to the grind to boost up three characters, again. And now with Shadowkeep and Cross Saving being announced, the question of "Veteran Status for PC?" comes up again because if this monumental task is being undertaken, perhaps there is hope we can get that tick mark for our account to carry that over the top badass legacy back in D1.

When Edgar Verona (once again thanks very much for answering questions in the thread) answered with "Account merging required to make that (read: veteran status enabled on Blizz/Steam) happen isn't supported at this time", it raises some hope, but at the same time it's that open ended question where UnknownPlayer and RickKackis could take and say "For PC hopefuls out there, Veteran Status could be coming to PC" and spread some misinformation, hence why I'm asking the question "what exactly do you mean by this?" It's definitely an eggshell question, and I don't mean to put him on the spot.

Oh, I apologize - I didn't mean to raise up hopes unintentionally! I actually am not in any of the discussions around whether or not account merging is even possible etc, so I don't have any exposure to or ability to influence that. I know that it's not something we're doing for Cross Save, but I have no knowledge (positive or negative) about the future unfortunately!

It feels bad that when we were told to start over on PC and we would never get vet status on PC, where people are now able to move to PC with vet status.

I will pass on the sentiment that you and others in the thread mentioned about wanting this.

Maybe not a full merge but just something that recognizes the old D1 account linked to our Bungie accounts?

Aye, I'm passing it on!

Thank you for the answer i’m very grateful. Still very sad but very grateful. I know this is naïve of me to ask but what is stopping you guys technically from just putting the option in. Like not merging accounts but just allowing the dialogue itself to be an option you can enable? That is my last question.

I don't think I have permission to go into depth on this one, but there's definitely challenges unfortunately. But I did bubble up the fact that folks are requesting it!

It is possible that our mechanisms to track whether you've successfully authenticated with all your linked accounts isn't going to work through your network at work, depending on how they route traffic. I'm going to propose a longer term fix for that, but for now you may have to try it when you get on another network. It may be worth trying to disconnect from your work wi-fi as well and give it a shot there.

As a separate issue, we're having difficulty communicating with Steam for authentication at this time, which could cause other problems. We're investigating.

We're investigating this - if you're on a network that might be quickly rotating your outgoing IP address, could you try performing the cross save on a different network (for instance, if you're on a work network, try using your phone and don't connect to wifi. If you're logged into some kind of proxy layer, log out of that before you try) Let me know if that helps. (doing that should also help with other issues you might regularly experience on Bungie.net, such as changes to your account not looking like they changed immediately)

Be sure you have the correct accounts linked - you may not have the PS4 account linked that you think you do. A good way to check is to sign out of bungie.net and sign in using the same login and password you use on your PS4. If it asks you to create a new profile or if it doesn't log you into the same profile as your battle.net account, then you need to fix the account links.

Ah, so in the flow you're going through, is it actually popping up a new, separate tab/window for the authentication and then closing that window? Or is it all happening in the same window/tab? If the latter, that definitely could be what's going on... we may be losing your authentication state because it's navigating away from the page. The intended behavior of the page is that it pops up a new tab/window to authenticate, but this is a good potential lead.

Let me know if you can send me a link to your profile URL, that'll let me see if I can find more info on our side.

Some people are experiencing issues where they authenticate with one account and the others get disabled. Now that Steam is working more consistently, try it again from the beginning if you're hitting this. We're still looking into root causes and potential solutions for the people hitting this type of error.

I did a Scan & Repair through Battle.Net, no errors detected. Restarted my computer and tried it once more. Same issue happens.

I then tried my other gaming PC as a test. The exact same issue happens on my 2nd PC as well the same way; 2nd game of a playlist causes the crash.

Then I thought it might be related to Cross-Save so I was going to just disable it for now. I can't disable it. It says that I have to re-authenticate my accounts again. This becomes a game of Whack-a-mole where as soon as I authenticate one account, the others un-authenticate. It's impossible to authenticate all of them. Then when I get to my Battle.net account it says there's an error with my account. It says that I recently purchased Silver and have to wait 48 hours. I haven't purchased Silver in over 2 months on my Battle.net account.

Edit:

I think I found a solution. I had to access my cross-save primary account (which is my Battle.Net account) on my PS4. Now I don't have the errors being thrown on my PC any more and can play my Battle.Net account on PC without issues.

SOLUTION: if you get this error after setting your Battle.net account as your cross-save account: https://i.imgur.com/fyPqKE3.png

Do this:

On your PC, close Destiny 2 and also exit out of Battle.Net app

Start up D2 on your console (in my case it was my PS4) and log in

Log out of your D2 account and/or close out of D2 on your console.

Start Battle.Net and then Destiny 2 again on your PC.

Play like normal. You shouldn't get the error message any more.

Is this a game crash (the .exe stops working) or in-game error code?

I linked my Blizzard and Steam accounts yesterday, I am trying to activate Cross Save today, but it will not let me authenticate Steam and Blizzard at the same time. If I authenticate Blizzard today will I be able to use Cross Save on October 1st with Steam, or will I be stuck with the 90 day waiting period? I am using a PS4 account as my Main account.

Edit: Never mind they finally both authenticated, I still think it would be good to know if accounts can be added to cross save in the future without deactivating the feature.

Yes - so indeed if you link new accounts in the future, they will automatically be added to the cross save pairings!

The caveats though are:

You cannot un-link a cross saved account without undoing cross save. So make sure the ones you are linking are the ones you want forever (or at least for a long time!) if for some reason you have multiple accounts.
Once Shadowkeep goes live, Blizzard will no longer be a valid account to Cross Save with. You will have to migrate it to Steam at that point before that data can be included in cross save. (and once you migrate, the Blizzard account's data becomes the Steam accounts' data)*

One thing that's a bit unclear for me is on Silver purchases. I understand that silver is supposed to remain on the platform it was purchased on, but if I have 1000 Silver on both Xbox and PS4, enabling my Xbox as my active account and playing on PS4 should still show my 1000 silver (that was gifted to me on PSN), correct?

My Xbox account keeps showing 0 silver on Bungie's site, even though I have a balance of 1000 so it's a bit worrying to me. The final confirmation page also shows my silver count getting zeroed out across all platforms, why is why I'd appreciate some confirmation of this from someone who has run through this scenario.

Thanks!

Did you receive a warning pop-up in the prior step before that confirmation step? Go back to that prior step and keep an eye out for it. The situation with silver is that it stays with the characters they were attached to - so if you make XBox your primary account, the silver on that XBox account is available (but only while playing on Xbox), and the PSN accounts' silver stays on the inactive account and can no longer be accessed.

Also worth noting is that once you actually cross save, if you buy silver on that now-primary-formerly-XBox account, that silver will also stay on that account, but will be bound to the platform you bought it on. So if you buy PSN silver while you have your formerly XBox account as primary, you can only spend that silver while playing on PSN with that primary account.

I hope this helps to clarify!

Okay, the spice should be flowing again. We've deployed a fix that should resolve the "sudden loss of authentication"/"auth fast or die"/"What's this 500 error?!?" issue for the vast majority of people.

Some people may experience this as an occasional one-off, if so try again: the odds of it happening more than once as of this fix are extremely slim unless you are using any plugin or mechanism that blocks cookies.

I'm looking into a fix that will help to resolve that remaining minority case of one-off errors of this type, but that will likely not come until an upcoming deployment.

It said silver balances are maintained per platform, which should mean my silver count on PS4 stays at 1000, even when making my Xbox account primary.

Is your post from first-hand experience? It doesn't make sense to me that silver I own is effectively being revoked

Aye, check out the FAQ here for more info:

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/CrossSave

It is unfortunately a confusing situation, but the gist is in this section:

"Does Silver get merged with Cross Save?

No. With Cross Save, players select one set of characters from a platform to be their active characters. Silver is associated with your characters, so when you select a set of characters to be active, only that silver on that platform will be available. The Silver you own on your other accounts will remain tied to those accounts, should you ever choose to access them again. However, any future Silver purchased will be available on the platform it was purchased."

I did play Halo 3 on it, but I never made a bungie account; my bungie account has only existed since destiny came out. Do I need to figure out what my Xbox login is or can I just skip linking that account? Sorry for the long question

Oh no, you aren't required to Cross Save all possible accounts - but we do require that, if you have accounts Linked together on Bungie.net, they all must participate.

In your situation, you can leave XBox unlinked and you can continue the process just Cross Saving PSN and PC!

When I click "Get Started" I see this: https://i.imgur.com/19PTr0i.png

When I click "Migrate to Steam" I see this: https://i.imgur.com/6bSkeT8.png

When I click "Continue" I see this: https://i.imgur.com/EsVJZ0X.png. Unfortunately those are my old PC characters, which I don't want. I want to migrate my Xbox characters instead.

Oh, so what you're hitting here is that the Cross Save and the PC Migration are two separate things.

The first step, which you're doing, is the PC Migration. That is strictly Blizzard to Steam, (or at least setting it up so it will happen when Shadowkeep goes live).

The second step is to then go back to Cross save, at which point you choose your active characters (in this case, choose XBox) and the others - Steam and the soon-to-be-replaced Blizzard - will become overridden.

Try that out and let me know how that goes!

Can you give it another shot now? If you have any plugins, applications, special router settings etc that may strip cookies from your requests, make sure those are disabled.

When you get to that last page, make sure it's taking you all the way through the final confirmation step. After you choose accounts, there's one more screen that may potentially look like it's completed, but what it's really doing is trying to show you the final state your accounts will be in once you confirm the change.

If that doesn't work, take a picture of the confirmation page you get to and send me a link to it, along with a link to your bungie.net profile URL and I'll try to take a look in the morning!

Not OP, but i have a similar issue.

I have enabled cross-save and the migration process. When i go to the cross-save page, it says that my PS4 characters are linked to PS4, Steam and Blizzard. This is what i wanted.

However, when i go to my migration page, it says that i am ready to migrate with my BLIZZARD character (level 16 or so Hunter). This is definitely not what i want and very confusing. I have tried refreshing the page to no avail. Is this a visual bug, or do i need to change something?

Yeah, it's a confusing thing because the two systems don't really know about each other.

The trick is that the act of migrating, when Shadowkeep goes live, is going to be stomping any Steam Destiny Profile you may have (in your case, you won't have one) and replacing it with your existing Blizzard data.

That act of migration happens separate from Cross Save: so when that stomping happens, if your Blizzard characters are already being overridden by Cross Save, then the stomping happens with characters that you no longer see. You will still be playing with whatever characters you chose in cross save both before and after that migration process happens.

The analogy I like to use is to picture each of your linked Platforms as being a container that can potentially hold Destiny characters. If you link a Platform, you don't have to play Destiny on it, but if you do then it may have characters in that container. Similarly, if you Cross Save, you have a single Container that is chosen to be the only one you play with across all platforms: but the original containers (and the characters you played on those platforms) still exist, they're just hidden.

When you migrate, we take the container marked for your Blizzard Destiny Characters - whether they're hidden by Cross Save or not - and force it to become your Steam container, that may also be still hidden by Cross Save.

Hopefully this way of visualizing it helps to clarify what's happening!

Make sure your friend is inviting your PS4 account to the clan, since that is the account that holds your Active characters. You can leave the clan on Battle.net because that is now an Inactive set of characters.

As far as I know, you cannot share the same license across two Battle.net accounts. You could each Cross Save your respective accounts, which would enable you to play the same characters on both platforms. You would still be able to use the same game license in Xbox like you already do now, but for Battle.net you would each need your own license. Remember, on October 1, Destiny 2 will become free, so you'll be able to jump in on Steam for $0!

It is possible for the website to be out of sync when it comes to entitlements. Cross Save does not change your entitlements, so no need to worry about losing any of them. It typically works too log in to Destiny on the platform that is showing incorrectly, then go through the flow again.

No, this is not possible. Cross Save always leaves characters on the accounts on which they were created; it only provides the option to access those characters on other platforms.

Any help appreciated!

Is there any chance that you only linked a single non-Battle.net platform and a Steam platform together?

If so, there's a bug right now where if you only do [SINGLE NON-BATTLENET PLATFORM] + [STEAM] Cross Saving, the act of cross saving doesn't actually happen. In the worst case if that ends up being the actual setup you want, you may have to wait until Steam becomes a playable platform (when Steam goes live) before you can engage Cross Save.

But if you link Battle.net, then it should work fine! And it sounds like you do - and I would advise it, as your purchases for Battle.net specifically will transfer to the linked steam account as soon as Shadowkeep goes live! And it will let you engage with Cross Save right away!

I switched to PC when Destiny 2 launched and I was disappointed that there was no way to link Destiny 1 to Destiny 2 if you were switching platforms. I accomplished a lot in the first game and I would very much like to have my legacy progress through Destiny 2 without having to start over. The cross save is great! I just have done a lot on PC now!

The emblems and triumphs would be nice to have. The veteran dialogue, if it's just a checkbox somewhere in audio options or if I can link a Destiny 1 account again on bungie that allows the dialogue switch would be great.

Does the Destiny 1 progress, triumphs, grimoire scores even exist on the bungie website anymore? Like if Destiny 3 were to come out, would all of the Destiny 2 information be wiped like Destiny 1?

So Destiny 1 progress etc is still available through the API, but we don't have anywhere on the site for it anymore unfortunately. We have a pretty limited amount of resources and people on the Bungie.net team, so we had to make hard choices on what we could maintain going forward and what we couldn't.

The UI in particular is hard to maintain, as we'd have to keep pulling it forward through site redesigns and such. But we found that we were able to keep the info in the API: so while you can't see this info through the site itself, we release it in data format so you can see it on sites like Destiny Tracker and other places who show legacy info (or even grab it yourself if you wanted to make something fun out of your old character! If you play D1, it'll still update too, and you can still do things like transfer items etc... with the old D1 API!)

As far as the future of Destiny 2 or theoretical future Destiny games, I am unfortunately unable to speculate on that!
