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]

        • Other games are able to do this, and character information is obviously stored on bungie/acti servers. This isn't an impossible task, and I think it would be a very beneficial feature to include in this game. Definitely /bump, this needs traction

        • Does Bungie have an official feature-request/feedback process for Destiny? I also play on both platforms (groups of friends with each) and it's frustrating to have to re-trace my steps and re-earn gear on each platform. Some of my friends say they'd re-buy the game on the second platform and play it there, too, but only if their character or vault could be in sync with the other platform. Their main barrier to a second purchase of the game is the fact that their progress won't carry over.

        • I agree. I'm tired of Xbox's freezing and not getting content until a year later. I just bought a PS4 and Destiny TTK collector's bundle for it but I don't want to have to redo all of my characters and re-earn all my grimoire (4690). Please, Bungie help save me from the Xbox demons.

          • I just found out today did you know that Destiny originally on XBox One was not even going to be 1080P and 60fps?? It was only after MS did some tweaks to the OS that it made it possible for Bungie to have the game be at 1080P on the Xbox One.

            • I'd do it in a second. Just too much time invested to switch now. I did think about it recently.

              • Unless bungie makes a system similar to gta v. I transferred my Xbox 360 character to my ps4 using social club.

                • We just caved and got the PS4 Destiny bundle after Microsoft completely screwed me over by taking away my 10 year old gamertag without warning or notice, then extorting me for $10 to make a new one. To my horror we found out that we lost out on our founder's status even though we had the digital collectors edition. My bro is more pissed about it than me, but we got it to play together. This is kinda lame if you ask me. We dont mind leveling again, the game is fun, but we do want our status.

                  • I have 1800+ hrs in this game on xb1 and all my friends just upgraded to ps4 and i wana play with them but i cant coz i dont feel like playing from the beginning and in that case im not even buying this game on ps4 coz i dont wana grind wat i already grinded for ridiculous amount of hrs.. Worst part is tat bungie is not even addressing the issue whether they r gona let us do it by the time taken king launches or not? So much for grinding this game. Atleast let us trasfer our characters and all just once.. I could not imagine if i had a 360 and if i wanted to trasfer to ps4 i could not coz i have to start from beginning.. Game like this wher u take ur progress from game to game each yr this is not acceptable plz plz plz i request u bungie to address this and let us sync or trasfer our progress from xbox to psn

                    • This really SHOULD be possible. All equipment is stored on bungie's servers. If playstation exclusives is an issue then people should be willing to sacrifice those items if they do transfer. Not a problem whatsoever... I would totally be willing to accept those terms. I have a couple dozen legendarys and a crap ton of other stuff on PS3. I recently transferred to Xb1 unknowingly... FML

                      • I have been pondering upgrading my system for Fallout 4 and I have been pondering getting a PS4 as all my friends who play Destiny do so on that platform. Hopefully there will be some news on this......and soon

                      • I honestly can't see many good reasons why they haven't tried this... your actual characters are stored on bungie's servers, which is why you can access them from any console of the same family... if you put the characters on an independent account and linked an xb live acc and a psn acc, you could access the characters from the bungie account with either... playstation exclusives? ever heard of content locking? it's the same basic principle that stops you from using legendary equipment without being a level 20, or playing HoW content without buying the expansion... only you make the requirement to be on a Playstation... if you try and pass a character over to xbox who has something like a hawkmoon equipped, you would be unable to log onto said character without first equipping weapons that aren't playstation exclusives... it's simple in theory... probably take a lot of effort to implement effectively though... in fact the only good reason I can think of why they aren't trying to do this is cause it would definitely bring it's own set of bugs and glitches to the game, for instance you could lose the contents of your vault because of a glitch while accessing your account from a different console... or even losing characters because of a bug... and it would be a giant hole in account security... oh, they didn't steal your xbox live account, or playstation account.. but they stole your characters by hacking your bungie account and linking their xbox live account/playstation accounts to it instead... just saying, account security would be a really big issue with this...
