FAQs

Will the Daily Heroic Mission on the Legacy Consoles always be the same as the Daily Heroic on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One?

No. Occasionally the Daily Heroic will be different on Legacy Consoles from what is available on the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. This will also occasionally be true for other Featured Activities, such as the Daily and Weekly Crucible Playlists, Weekly Nightfall Strike, and others.

Will Legacy Console players be able to see their Character stats on the Companion App or on Bungie.net?

Some Character data will be available for viewing on Bungie.net or the Companion App. However, some data will not display properly for Legacy Console players. More details about the expected behavior of Bungie.net and the Companion App will be provided as we get closer to August 2016.

If I play on the PlayStation 3, can I use the Account Import to upgrade to an Xbox One? Or go from an Xbox 360 to a PlayStation 4?

No. The Account Import process only works within console families.

Do I have to purchase Destiny: The Taken King or Destiny: Rise of Iron to perform the Account Import?

No. Purchase of Destiny: The Taken King or Destiny: Rise of Iron is not required for performing the Account Import. However, when upgrading from a Legacy Console, purchase of Destiny: The Taken King or Destiny: Rise of Iron may be required to access the content from those Destiny expansions.
