This article explains how to cross-save in Destiny 2: New Light for Windows PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. It also includes troubleshooting steps in case you have trouble doing this.

What to Know

  • Go to the Bungie Cross-Save website, click Get Started, and follow the prompts to link your accounts, then click Activate Cross-Save.
  • If you don’t have a Bungie account, you can create one during the above process.
  • You can save transfer your Guardians, loot, and other game data between your PC and consoles.

How to Cross-Save in Destiny 2

Follow these steps to transfer Destiny 2 save data from one platform to another:

  • Go to the Bungie Cross-Save website and select Get Started.
  • Select the platform you currently play Destiny 2 on.
  • Log in to your account for your platform (PS4, Xbox, Steam, etc.) in the window that pops up. Provide your user name, password, and any other requested information.
  • Select Link Existing Profile and log in to your Bungie.net account, or select Create New Profile and set up a new Bungie account.
  • Agree to the terms of cross-save and select Get Started.
  • Select Link Account under the platform you want to transfer your save data to, then log in to your account for that platform in the new window that appears.
  • Once you have authenticated at least two accounts, select Continue.
  • Select one platform as your main account. You can’t exchange Guardians from different platforms; it’s a one-way transfer.
  • Select Make these my active characters on all platforms. If you already have save data on multiple platforms, your other data will not be overwritten; however, your other characters, loot, and DLC will be inaccessible until you disable cross-save.
  • Select Yes, Do It.
  • Select Activate Cross-Save.

What Transfers Cross-Platform in Destiny 2?

Now you’ll have access to your characters, gear, weapons, and loot on every platform you have linked to your Bungie account. When your game is saved on one platform, it’s automatically reflected on the other platforms.

Go to the Bungie Cross-Save website and select Get Started.

Select the platform you currently play Destiny 2 on.

Log in to your account for your platform (PS4, Xbox, Steam, etc.) in the window that pops up. Provide your user name, password, and any other requested information.

Select Link Existing Profile and log in to your Bungie.net account, or select Create New Profile and set up a new Bungie account.

Agree to the terms of cross-save and select Get Started.

Select Link Account under the platform you want to transfer your save data to, then log in to your account for that platform in the new window that appears.

Once you have authenticated at least two accounts, select Continue.

Select one platform as your main account. You can’t exchange Guardians from different platforms; it’s a one-way transfer.

Select Make these my active characters on all platforms. If you already have save data on multiple platforms, your other data will not be overwritten; however, your other characters, loot, and DLC will be inaccessible until you disable cross-save.

Select Yes, Do It.

Select Activate Cross-Save.

While you can use gear from expansion packs you haven’t purchased for a specific platform, season passes and other DLC expansions are platform-exclusive. In other words, if you want to play the Shadowkeep expansion pack on PC and consoles, you’ll have to purchase it separately for each platform.

It’s important to note that cross-save doesn’t merge accounts together. Only one Destiny 2 account can be linked across platforms. To retrieve Guardians and data from other platforms, you must return to the Bungie Cross-Save website and disable cross-save.

What to Do if Destiny 2 Cross-Save Is Not Working

If you have trouble setting up cross-save on Bungie.net, try these fixes:
