[GameSpot] - Bungie Confirms Destiny 2 Headed To Xbox Series X (And Probably PS5)

It's official: Destiny 2 is making its way to the next generation of consoles. Bungie says the game will appear on the Xbox Series X after Microsoft's Xbox showcase livestream, although the game didn't show up in the showcase itself. It sounds like the PlayStation 5 is also in the offing, since Bungie's confirmation didn't specify the game would only be on the next Xbox.

Eagle-eyed players caught Bungie's logo amid tens of others in a graphic displayed during the stream to highlight how many developers are currently making games for Microsoft's next console. In response, Bungie confirmed on Twitter that Destiny 2 is coming to "next-gen platforms," but didn't provide more information than that. More details are coming soon, Bungie said, but we don't know exactly when.

Cheers to @Xbox for the show today. Lots of awesome stuff coming!
Been seeing some folks ask about @Bungie being on the roster: We’re excited for our community to play Destiny 2 on next-gen platforms. More details to come. https://t.co/Mqirc3dMcr

Since Bungie released cross-save support for Destiny 2 with the Shadowkeep expansion last fall, it's been possible for players to jump between consoles and PC and bring their characters with them if they own multiple copies of the game--so it's not a big leap that Destiny 2 could also support Xbox Series X in the same way. The question is whether and how the next-generation version of Destiny 2 could differ from the current one. The original Destiny launched across generations with the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360 and Xbox One, with better visuals and 60 FPS support on the more powerful consoles being the chief difference. It seems likely we'll see a prettier, faster-loading Destiny 2 on Xbox Series X over Xbox One, at least.
