Destiny 2 EGS and Steam
I haven't played Destiny 2 for a while and recently obtained free expansions from the Epic Games Store (EGS). Currently, I have some expansions in EGS and Forsaken in Steam. I've downloaded the game on EGS, but if I want to play 'Forsaken,' do I need to download the game on Steam, or is there another way to access it without purchasing it again on EGS or downloading it once more on Steam?

It's platform based. Your Steam content won't work on EGS, so you'd have to buy it again on EGS or just swap between the two platforms.

I made it cross-platform. So the only way is to download two versions at once? And when I want to play "Forsaken" I need to run it from steam library?

Well, you'd really only be playing a dungeon and a raid, iirc. But, ya you'd need to run those through steam. Forsaken basically got vaulted.

Hi there!

No, the Epic Games Store and Steam versions are different.

DLC is licensed by the platform, not by Bungie. When you purchase a DLC, you are purchasing a license to access that DLC on that platform. This is how DLC has worked for years and is not an issue exclusive to Destiny 2 or Bungie.

Cross Save does not transfer licenses to other platforms, nor does it grant entitlements to DLC on other platforms. If you wish to access specific DLC on other platforms, you must purchase it.

Thank you for the answer, because the problem was that I just don't want to download it twice :D

Exactly, your progress and gear will be on both, but to do Forsaken content you must do so on the platform you got it on. So two installs and ping pong them to play it all. EGS is hoping people will buy the other content on EGS.

I would have suggested getting that pack on Steam for $20.00 and having one installation.

its so dumb how licenses dont carry over depending on which platform you play on... its purely just for greed
