Destiny 2: Shadowkeep expansion, free-to-play version, Steam and Stadia versions, and cross-save support announced

The next chapter for Destiny 2.

Bungie detailed the future of Destiny 2 during a live stream today, where it announced the Destiny 2: Shadowkeep expansion, the free-to-play Destiny 2: New Light, Steam and Stadia versions of Destiny 2, and cross-save support across all platforms.

Here is the overview of what was announced, via Bungie:

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep – New Nightmares have emerged from the shadows of our forgotten Moon. Called forth by haunting visions from her tormented past, Eris Morn has returned and unleashed something that once slumbered beneath the lunar surface – a long dormant power even she cannot control. Return to the Moon. Journey deep into a mysterious enemy citadel. Help Eris slay these nightmares before they reach out beyond the Moon to cast humanity back into an age of darkness.
Destiny 2: New Light – One of our goals for this year is to make it simpler for new players to join this amazing community and quickly play alongside our veteran Guardians. Destiny 2: New Light is a brand new entry point for newcomers, that puts the worlds of Destiny 2—and all of its foundational modes, activities, and rewards—into the hands of every player. It’s coming September 17, and it’s free to download for all players.
Destiny 2 on PC – With all of these changes afoot, we find ourselves in need of a new home for the Destiny PC community. On September 17, Destiny 2 will become available on Steam. Current PC players will be able to bring all of their progress and purchases with them. Their Guardians, their vaults, and all of their progress will make the move with just a few quick steps. We’ll have more announcements on this topic later this summer, and we are committed to ensuring this change is a as simple and seamless as possible.
Destiny 2 on Stadia – Destiny 2 will be available on Stadia this Fall. Stadia is a new platform from Google for playing video games across virtually any screen. To learn more about Destiny 2 on Stadia, to sign up for updates, or to pre-purchase Stadia and Destiny 2, please visit the official Stadia page.
Cross-Save for Destiny 2 – With all these new ways to play Destiny, you might be wondering where you’ll want to invest your time. To make that decision easier, we’re excited to announce that Cross-Save will become available this Fall. With Cross-Save, you’ll be able to access the same characters tied to one primary account, enabling you to have a unified experience with the same Guardians on different platforms. Your first steps will become available on Bungie.net later on this summer.
