(PS5) Why aren't we talking about Destiny 2 Beyond Light on PS5???

Sooooooo Beyond Light is launching a couple days before the huge release of the PlayStation 5. Beyond Light also happens to release as the same times as the Xbox Series X. I have several tech-oriented questions for our developers as well as our community. Where on Earth do I start? September is nearly over, and time is running out. There are now less than 7 TWABS left and I feel as if that isn't enough time to explain how Destiny 2 Beyond Light will work on next gen. [b]For our Bungie developers, I ask:[/b] 1. Will Destiny 2 Beyond Light ACTUALLY RUN in 60FPS 4K HDR on PS5/Xbox Series X at LAUNCH? 2. Will Destiny 2 Beyond Light have a FOV (field of view) adjustment tab for next gen consoles? If so, will the adjustments be noticeable? 3. Will Destiny 2 Beyond Light have an option to INCREASE frame rate at the expense of RESOLUTION? (ex. running 120FPS at 1440p instead of 60FPS at 2160p) 4. Will I have to REPURCHASE Destiny 2 Beyond Light for PS5 [i]if [/i]I buy it on PS4? If so, how much will it cost-- or will there be an upgrade fee? (ex. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will have a 10 dollar upgrade plan for next gen console owners via. Best Buy) 5. Will Destiny 2 Beyond Light have SEPERATE SERVERS from PS4 players. In other terms, will there be cross play for PS4/PS5 users? If not, then one could assume there will be a TINY population for each next gen platform, resulting in a lot of issues. (ex. match making will take a LONG time). If so, will I need to enable CROSS SAVE on PS5? 6. Will Destiny 2 Beyond Light be BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE on PS5 if I choose to play with my PS4 players? (in relation to questions 1, 2, 3, and 5) [b]For the Destiny 2 community, I ask:[/b] 1. Did you pre-order a PS5/Xbox Series X? If so, will Destiny 2 Beyond Light be your launch title? 2. What will you do about your clan? If Destiny 2 Beyond Light IS NOT cross-play between PS4/PS5, will you join a new clan? 3. If Destiny 2 Beyond Light IS backwards compatible for PS5, will you stay behind to play with your friends, or grind without them? 4. In PvP, would it make you angry if you were constantly being killed by a PS5 user while on PS4 due to hardware advantage? (assuming cross-play is a thing between PS4/PS5) 5. Are you confident in Bungie's ability to release Destiny 2 Beyond Light successfully on next gen? Do you think there will be hours and hours of server issues (remember the Rise of Tapir lol)? Thank you all for taking the time to read this. I am sure I can't be the [i]only one [/i] wondering how everything is gonna do down this November, and I am very grateful that Bungie decided to delay Beyond Light because of all the major changes they are doing. I deeply thank all of our developers and community for coming together during these awful times. - Midnight

    They answered some of this in the Beyond Light reveal video. The game will run at 4k 60fps If you buy the PS4 version of Beyond Light it's a free upgrade to the PS5 version. Same for xbox one to series x/s They are doing intergenerational play. So PS5 can play with PS5 & PS5 / Series can play with Series and One X
