Destiny 2 PC release exclusive to Battle.net platform

Blizzard has announced that they are partnering with Bungie and Activision to release the PC version of Destiny 2 exclusively via Battle.net.

Being on Battle.net will allow Destiny 2 to plug in to the existing global network, freeing up the developers at Bungie. This also means Destiny 2 players will have access to Battle.net online social functionality, including chat with friends, the ability to see which of their friends are online in Destiny 2 or in Blizzard games, and the ability to stream gameplay directly to Facebook.

Bungie will maintain Destiny 2’s servers; Blizzard’s servers will be used for features related to the Blizzard platform, such as login and social functionality. Destiny 2’s gameplay customer service will be handled by Bungie; Blizzard will handle customer service for platform and shop issues specific to our service.

Other PC-specific details include a promise for 4K support, adjustable FOV, unlocked framerate, and more.

Blizzard is working with Bungie to bring the PC version of Destiny 2 to every region Blizzard currently operates in. However, this means that the PC release may potentially be different from the announced September launch for consoles. More details are promised soon.
