D2 Cross Save FAQ & Megathread

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!

Hey hey any chance for veteran dialogue to be a toggle for PC players?

Unfortunately, the account merging that would be required to make that happen isn't supported at this time.

I have a question:

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!

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.

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!

Yes thank you so much for replying this late!

Very good to hear. I purchased it about 2 hours ago and I am just leaving work. I will go home and sign in on PC so that it updates.

Thank you for the offer to look into it, I will save that as a last resort!

Excellent, yeah let me know!

I've tried this on several computers and my phone at this point, including edge, firefox and chrome. I also don't use adblock. I'm so done with this site...

Ooh, that's not a great situation! There may be a bug in our process where it's not showing you the underlying error happening, let me check a few things.

What are you setting your Display Name to?

What is the email address you are setting (feel free to send me this via PM to avoid having to share it publicly)

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?

What if Bungie.net won't let me link my Steam account? Am I just out of luck and can't cross save? Bungie.net just gives me a Cloudflare 500S Box Error every time I open the "Link Steam" window instead of sending me to Steam.

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

Ah, unfortunately that's not in my wheelhouse! I don't know the answer to that one!

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.

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!

Hello, can you confirm whether or not PC Move snapshots your entitlements at the time you complete it, or whether this takes place on move day?

I’d like to get my PS4 characters set as primary before I buy Forsaken on Battle.Net so I can get the deluxe edition cosmetics on my “forever team”, but it looks like this might not be possible from the above. But if I can buy Forsaken after carrying out the PC Move and still have it follow me to Steam, that’s not a problem.

The entitlements are moved on move day. If you buy Forsaken on Battle.net anytime before then, it will move with you to Steam.

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.

Bungie : If you buy Forsaken now there will be no issues transferring it to Steam on October 1, even if you are already linked. EVERYTHING will transfer to Steam.

Comment

To be clear - nothing is actually being migrated today. You're just linking your Steam account so that we have a place to send your Blizzard stuff when we do the migration right before Shadowkeep is available. It also puts you in a good place in case you're Cross Saving tomorrow, so everything will just work as you expect on October 1st without having to come back to bungie.net that day and mess with some settings to get access to your Blizzard characters on Steam when you just want to go check out the Moon.

Companion App Issues

Comment

This will be fixed when the build that support Cross Save is deployed on the 21st. Or, you can go to your linked account settings and make sure all your accounts are marked as public (check "display on public profile" on each linked account in your bungie.net settings) if you need a work around now.
