Destiny 1 project, which aims to port the game to PC, seemingly gets a nod from Bungie boss
The original Destiny never made it to PC, but the shooter-MMO may not stay locked to PS4 and Xbox One for much longer.
The original Destiny never made it to PC, but the shooter-MMO may not stay locked to PS4 and Xbox One for much longer.
The short version
- Some crafty modders have been working to get the game running on PC, and their efforts recently caught the eye of Bungie, which surprisingly didn't result in a take-down - not yet, at least.
- YouTuber Flummoxed has been sharing progress updates, and recently showed footage of various parts of Destiny 1 running on PC at 4K resolution at well over 60fps.
- The footage has a wider FOV than the one on console, meaning the build has been upgraded compared to consoles.
What happened
The latest video got shared widely among the Destiny community, and surprisingly got something of a nod from Bungie. Josh Deane, studio head of product and Marathon general manager, commented on the footage on X , jokingly writing, "Seems like a pretty game, wonder if it will do well…" It is worth taking Deane's nod for what it is and not jump to conclusions.
Why it matters
This is not confirmation of a Destiny 1 revival within Bungie, and I'd be surprised if Sony doesn't issue DMCA take-downs soon.
