Speaking to journalists at a press release, Green stated “We’re interested in making sure that last gen character can move to next gen. A lot of people are going to buy Destiny on PS3 or Xbox 360 and then get a PS4 [or Xbox One] for Christmas. Don’t tell me I wasted those last 100 hours there. So we’re really interested in supporting that. Our longer-term platform plans, I couldn’t speak to right now. But we don’t want to lock people in.”
However, he offered no ideas on how the transfer would take place, and that the idea of transferring saves to a gamer who switched platforms (like PlayStation to Xbox and vice-versa) is still up in the air. “We don’t have any plans to announce there right now. Traditionally that’s been restricted by the platform [holders] themselves. We’ll just have to wait and see where they go with that.”
He also offered no ideas on if Destiny would ever release on PC, and if transferring cross-generation saves would even work on a PC from a console.
