Bungie is on board
As the Google Stadia Connect presentation was coming to a close, the tech giant teased “one more big surprise,” and it’s Destiny 2 related. Basically, now that developer Bungie has jettisoned themselves from Activision, they have control over where they go: as of today, they’re choosing to go to Stadia.
Google confirms that they’ll actually be partnering up with Bungie to really make Destiny 2 a marquee game on the platform. Players can transfer their Guardian (character) from another platform so you don’t have to start from scratch. If you pony up for the “Founder’s Edition” of Stadia you’ll get “the full Destiny 2 experience” (base game, all expansions, all season pass content). Note: this confirms that Bungie is going the exact same route they did with Forsaken as they are with their new Shadowkeep expansion, with a big content drop followed by a season pass.
That Google Stadia Founder’s joint is $129 (you get a Chromecast Ultra, Stadia controller, a three month sub to Stadia Pro plus a “guest pass for a friend” for three months, the ability to reserve your Stadia username, and Destiny 2), and it’s available to pre-order now.
