Now that Bungie are self-publishing their MMOFPS, taking on from Activision, it’s leaving the Battle.internet retailer and shopper and coming to Steam. We will all want to change, because it received’t be playable on Battle.internet anymore. Best do this now, eh? The entire course of solely takes a minute or so.
The Battle.net-Steam swap will carry over your full game account, with all of your characters, gear, stock, Silver microtransaction money, expansions, and that. Whatever the state of your Destiny 2 on Battle.internet, it’ll be the identical on Steam. You might want to rebuild your folks record on Steam, although.
