The release date of Destiny 2 on Steam is confirmed

A few weeks ago Bungie surprised us announcing its intention to move Destiny 2 from Battle.net to Steam in a movement that would completely detach them from Activision. It seems that the creators of Destiny 2 would have done the things very differently had they not been bound by an agreement with the publisher, and now that they are free they have thought that their best option is to move to a different digital distribution platform. A date for this to happen was not announced until yesterday. Bungie not only revealed when Destiny 2 will be available on Steam but also the date for the players to start transferring their accounts from one platform to the other.

October 1st is the chosen date for the new free to play version of the game Destiny 2: New Light. Players that already own the game can sign up to link their accounts and transfer all of their content to the new platform on August 20th. Of course, they will keep all the content available to them, which includes the guardians and their progress, equipment, achievements, and pretty much everything they had when playing on Battle.net. Remember that once Destiny 2: New Light launches, all players will have access to Destiny 2's year one content as the game goes free to play. At the same time, Shadowkeep, the new Destiny 2 expansion, will launch on October 1st too.
