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]

  • They are completely different consoles and they have rivalry between them I'm sure they are not to work together to be compatible with each other

    • I had hundreds of hours on xbox one. Got tired of the timed exclusivity of weapons and armor so I traded in the xbox one version and got the PS4 version once it went on super sale a few weeks ago. All 3 of my guardians were pretty high in level and I had almost all exotics in the game at the time. I really hate that I had to start over from scratch. I'd swap my progress over in a heartbeat if I could. :/

        There is nothing at all preventing us from switching characters over to other consoles. All the info is stored here on the Bungie page so why cant you just log into Bungie on either console and use your characters? All your stuff is available on this site you cn see what you have got and levels etc so there is nothing stopping Bungie from doing it. So I ask you bungie are you gonna allow this? If not why not? Do we have to spam you with 1,000,000 videos of creepy old people doing creepy stuff till you give us what we want?

        • The reason why it will never happen is because there is exclusive PlayStation content.....it can't go to PlayStation.

          • Bump. Im going to go to PS4 when the Neo or PS4.5 or whatever its called comes out because of PS4 exclusives. Even if transferring content is a 1-time thing and you have to pay to do it I would easily do that. We would already be re-buying the game and DLC, so they are making a huge profit regardless. I just don't want to lose 6+ days of play time to be wasted. Plus exotics and legendaries. I mean Bungie already gave us an Automatic 25 Lvl rank up so we know they understand how hard it is to grind up from scratch. I would gladly pay a small fee to have my inventory and progress moved over. Its a server based game so we know they can do it. Please Bungie, Please

              I just saw a RoI leak a week ago, so since i did not play for 6 months i was hoping to hop in and spend some time with the game again. After 2 days, by accident i found out that RoI would be next gen only, which struck me as very odd or might even be the first time this has ever happened to a game? Than on top i found out that i would loose all my progress, since i would switch from Xbox360 to PS4. The PS4 simply has more appealing exclusives to me. Now i'm at a point where i see no point to either continue to play destiny or preorder the DLC, since i will definitely not regrind my progress. Here is a idea: Instead of transferring the whole account, i would be happy to just keep my items (exotics/legendarys)? Maybe this would circumvent some legal restriction, since you technically do not move the whole account?

              • Haven't played in awhile, last time was on my xbox, since then have grabbd a ps4 because most of my friends switched. With the new content coming out I would love to play again but I hate that I have to throw all of that hard work down the drain. Is there any way we could make this happen? I would even be willing to pay a fee or something. Lets make it happen people. Teamwork makes the dream work.

                  • Necro bump because I have started playing more on Xbox One and would rather not have to start over and lose all my Old Guard and day one pre-order items (gun smith shader). Also have a mate that sold his PS4 to get an xbox one and is planning to get Destiny again when the Trials of Iron expansion drops again and neither of us want to start from scratch

                  • Bungie. If the guardians could switch characters from Xbox to PS or vice versa it would bring in way more profit considering they would switch and have to re-buy the game with the DLC to play on the account they switched. Its pointless to run through the game over again when you have perfected your build on another console. Some people dont have a choice but to switch. Dont let us down Bungie, Destiny is a fantastic game. So many guardians have been lost, but you can keep the ones that have stayed and bring back the ones you have lost. Please bungie.

                  • This should be possible even if it's a one time thing with a small window like Warframe did. As for gear being available for one platform and not the other. It's simple like Warframe you'll lose the gear going from say PC to PS4 because of the PS4 version being updates behind. It'll be the same going PS4 to Xbox One. And Xbox players going to PS4 bought the game for that console and yeah can earn that exclusive gear.

                  • Bungie, shouldn't this be possible now? Microsoft recently opened up Xbox Live to give developers the freedom to offer cross-network play (something Sony already supports). I don't think anybody here is even asking for "cross-network play"; we just want to have our gear and progress sync between platforms. It's technically doable, and now Microsoft has removed the red tape. Destiny is more than a game, it's a platform. As personal, ambitious, and long-lasting as Destiny is, it should absolutely sync progress and gear between all devices and networks.

                  • This would be freaking amazing. I have two builds on my XB1 and recently jumped to PS4 to run through and it sucks having to start over. If we can't transfer characters, can we at least have a connected vault between platforms?! Come on now, sharing is caring!

                  • I had all 320 characters on my Xbox one and I had to start all over with ps4 please bungie make a feature that we can switch over! But on the same note it's Microsoft vs Sony they will never join bridges it's a competition between the two and they won't do that. But I would be willing to PAY if they made that a thing

                  • If you guys can let us transfer Xbox 360 Destiny accounts to ps4 I would play a lot more because I have gotten pretty far on Xbox 360. I hope you guys end up letting us do this soon.
