UPDATE, 7:30pm: Bungie has now formally unveiled its future plans for Destiny 2, with virtually everything leaked earlier now confirmed to be true. The one notable addition, however, is that PlayStation 4 will also support cross-save.
Destiny 2’s Shadowkeep expansion will arrive on 17th September and will be completely standalone, meaning no other previous purchases are required to play. On the same day, Bungie will be launching Destiny 2: New Light, an entirely free-to-play version of the base game incorporating all Year 1 content – which is to say, the Curse of Osiris and Warmind expansions.
Equally exciting is confirmation that Bungie will be introducing a cross-save system when its retooled Destiny 2 arrives. This enables players to shift between platforms as they see fit, picking up from where they left off earlier. This will work on Xbox One, Stadia, and Steam – and Bungie has confirmed that PS4 is supported too.

Fascinatingly, Kotaku’s Jason Schreier reports that Sony only gave the go-ahead “at the last possible moment”, one day before Bungie’s stream aired. That’s supported by the video itself, with PS4 notably absent from screens shown as part of the pre-recorded cross-save reveal.
