Will we ever be able to transfer characters from Xbox to PlayStation?

So we can transfer our progress and characters from PS3 to PS4 or 360 to Xbox One, which is pretty rad. I was just wondering what the technical hitch is that prevents me transfering from PS4 to Xbox One or 360 to PS4? Presumably if I can go between PS3 and PS4, my profile is stored on a Bungie/Acti server somewhere and that allows it to move between platforms? Because it's not as if the PS3 and PS4 are similar in architecture any more than the 360 and PS4 are. I have some friends playing on Xbox One that I want to play with and similarly I have some on PS4 that I want to play with. I'm buying the game on both formats, but it's a shame that I'll have to have two separate progress profiles for the two platforms. I'd hoped when new B.net launched and we were able to link all our accounts here that we may get some sort of unified account that you could tap into from any console and access my characters and progress. Has this ever been suggested in an update or anything? [quote]Ninja Edit [spoiler]Hello OP (or anyone who has decided to open the spoiler and read all of this). I'm one of the Bungie.Net Ninjas. We may have met before, we may have interacted, you might have heard of us, or you may have no clue as to who we are and what we do. Well, this little note is to explain some of the things we do. One of the major roles we play is to handle the reports that come in whenever a member clicks on the "Report" button, to let us know that there is a post, a topic or a user that either doesn't understand or isn't following the rules that we all agreed to follow when we joined. But that's not the Ninja function that brought on this note. The reason I am writing this is because I have retagged your thread. Bungie.Net uses hashtags to designate their major forums and to help keep things organized. Your OP (original post) was opened, created or given a hashtag that well, wasn't the best choice. It could have been that you were browsing through the [u][url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Categories]various forum/tags[/url][/u] that are available on the site or app, and clicked on "New Topic" while in a forum that didn't "match up" with the subject matter of your OP. Or, you may have thought "this belongs here", when unfortunately, it doesn't. That's another role of the Bungie.Net Ninjas. We not only try to keep things fun, pleasant and welcoming here by removing rule-breakers, but we also want EVERY good topic to have the best chance to survive, thrive, find the right audience, and get lots of on-topic replies. And so, I have retagged your topic to move it to the forum where it has the best chance of doing that. I give you my word that I have not altered a single letter or character of your Original Post, just placed this message below it and set the tag to better describe your topic. You may notice that you are unable to edit this post anymore. That is a part of the system, and I apologize for any inconvenience that it may have caused. I've not replied or commented on your OP, since this message would most likely be "off-topic" to your thread and when members see a Ninja or Mentor (who are volunteers from the community) or even a Bungie employee post, they tend to go a little crazy and the disruption to the thread becomes a distraction. I don't want that to happen to your thread. I want it to be in the BEST place possible, to be seen by the largest audience who is looking for this sort of topic, I want it to take root, get replies, grow strong and make these forums a better place. If you have any questions, you should feel free to PM me. My name is now in the upper right corner of your OP where it says "edited by". Thanks for your patience, thanks for being a part of this community, thanks for taking the time to read all of this (I hid it in a spoiler so that anyone who clicked couldn't complain about "too long, didn't read"), and thank you in advance for creating your future topics with the forum/tag location in mind. --Cheers[/spoiler][/quote]

    Why would you want to switch anyhow? The console may have more power, but PSN has shown itself to suck from day one. Sony can't even bother creating its own servers. I will choose network over a few more RAM every day.

        • I really hope they do. I understand that they don't want it to where you can have exclusive gear on different consoles, but there are ways around that. My thing is that I switched from Xbox 360 to PS4, and I'd like my character from Xbox on my PS4. It would make things so much easier. What they could do is just make it to where you can transfer your old account from your old system to your new system, but nothing else. They should do this for their loyal players. Even GTA5 did this. Maybe don't make it to where you can cross platform, but just make it so we can get out old existing accounts from our old systems onto our new ones. It would make my life and a lot of you guys' lives a LOT easier. I REALLY don't feel like getting to 30 again. And then some because of the DLC.

          • Sony & Microsoft are rival companies. They would not allow such an easy transition from one platform to the other, because it'd be easier to lose customers that way. They want you to give them money and not give their competitors money.

            • Ps4 does have exclusive content that Xbox doesn't. This would cause some issues on Bungie's end.

                • Bungie REALLY can't do that....YET. Hawkmoon, Monte Carlo, Fourth Horseman, etc/other PS Exclusive Content. If you could transfer your characters back and forth, you could technically move exclusive gear between platforms and, therefore, have an un-fair advantage. Yes, I know Bungie doesn't seem consistent on what is and is not fair, but it makes sense for right now. HOWEVER...once that stupid Activision-Sony agreement that put the butthurt on Xbox runs out, it's entirely possible that the transfer's could be allowed...Provided that there's not some other xbox player alienating agreement set for further down the line that is more likely to tick off players at Activision and Bungie than inspire them to switch platforms.

                  • There's no cross platform interchange but, the reasons people are giving are pretty much nonsense. Your character data shouldn't vary one iota on either PS4/3 or Xbox one/360. It's just data in a database. It's platform agnostic. If Bungie wanted to allow such a transfer they could do it. The only thing stopping this would be if they have a prior agreement not to do so from either of the platform holders or are not allowed to do so by order of activision.

                    • Yeah lets get this feature because if Bungie is going to give exclusive things to PS4, then let me transfer my characters over there and play on that side of the house.

                      • Unfortunately you can't do that but I would like to be able to use my characters on both platforms as I am a fan of both and this is my all time favorite game and I would love to mix and match.

                          I really think they should totally add on that feature because I really dislike having to buy the game for my ps4 and starting all over when I already have it for Xbox one, the only thing stopping them is the exclusive shit they gave to playstation users (Which is not fair) Maybe someone will start a petition someday and maybe Bungie will consider but that will be never I think =_=;;; Now all my hard work to upgrade all my exotics, all my good gear I fought for and all the hours spent on Xbox is now worthless because I have no friends who play Xbox ;-;

                              • Bump. This needs to happen in my opinion. I prefer Xbox 360 but if I'm going to get the next generation I want a PS4 and this is definitely possible I think it would just take a little inter-company cooperation.
