In the current “This Week at Bungie” blog, the developers of Destiny 2 explain the state of the game. Now there is also an appeal for PlayStation players. Because they are playing the wrong version of the game.
Many games now offer different editions at release:
- One version is intended for Xbox One and PS4, so that players who cannot/want to buy a new console can continue to play.
- Then there is often a version for PS5 and Xbox Series X: this is intended to allow players to fully utilize the next-gen consoles.
Now Bungie has explained that many players on PS5 are not playing the correct version on their next-gen console. For this reason, Bungie has explained again that players should please use the correct version. Because the Guardians would benefit from it.
A “considerable number of players” are using the PS4 version on PS5
What exactly does Bungie say? Bungie explains in the “This Week at Bungie” blog that a large number of players are now on PS5. However, many of them are still playing the PS4 version on their PS5 and thus missing out on better graphics and a more stable frame rate. Bungie writes (via bungie.net):
We have noticed that a considerable number of PS5 players are playing the PS4 version of Destiny 2 on their current generation consoles. To get the optimal experience for PlayStation quality, you should check out this resource here to upgrade to the free PS5 version and see improvements in frame rate and graphics overall.
Switching from the PS4 version to the PS5 game is quite simple. There is only one downside, as you will have to download the entire game again when switching.

Are there any other news for console players? Yes, and this actually concerns users who are still on last-gen (PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One and One X). The developers have reduced the storage requirements for the textures. This should also improve the game’s performance on older consoles, and your PS4 shouldn’t sound like a jet fighter when you’re gaming with your friends.
