Destiny WILL Be Coming To PC And Steam Under Publisher Activision

SteamFirst: Bungies upcoming title, Destiny has had a lot of the hype lately as well as it should. Until now, my excitement was a bit dulled just because it was said that the game would be console exclusive. Today, we know differently and the fire of excitement has been set ablaze within me.

[XiMasterChief]

After they receive all the console sales cash!!!!

[Future_2015]

ya screw that im gonna get it cheaper for pc and play it at on my 4k monitor at 60fps hopefully

[Razputin]

Yea stop lying.

Maybe on a 4k POS monitor @30FPS.

But I hear you though, I'll get this for PC as well. I pre-ordered the White Destiny bundle PS4, but I'll sell it. I did the PS3 beta, and good lord did that look like a giant piece of !!!!.

[ZoyosJD]

@Razputin

4k Monitors/TVs have significantly dropped in price.

28-in 60hz 4k monitors can be had for $500.

50-in 60hz 4k tvs can be had for $1200.

The necessary PC hardware may push 4k60 out of most individuals price range, but it is no longer a completely outlandish expenditure that it was 2 years ago.

[AndrewLB]

ZoyosJD- nVidia is going to be releasing the GTX 880 in September and it should be around $500 and considering most people think it's going to be about 20-25% faster than the current GTX 780 Ti, it will more than be able to do 4k gaming. I run most games on my 780ti at 4k downsampled to 1200p and they run great.

[FriedGoat]

28 inch? don't think i could ever play on a screen that small again.

[Neixus]

I'm just telling you, i have two 780 TI's in SLI mode, which is one of the best cards at the market and i have two of it. Yet i still can't run many games at 60+ fps on 4k. It's close, but not quite there yet. On most games i probably got around 45-50fps

Stop trying to be such a pc elitist, especially when it's a high chance that i got a much better pc than you ;)

I agree with the rest though, the fps on the beta for ps4 was kinda dissapointing, I hope they stabilize it!

[SilentNegotiator]

If it even comes to PC. This is a rumor after all.

[Oagoz]

You are the reason why people hate the "Pc Master Race"

[stragomccloud]

Don't mind the haters. They're just jealous. PS4 gamers are all about trash talking the performance of their system compared to Xbone, but the moment PC comes into the argument, they call US arrogant. Oh fanboys.

If only you could see how pc gaming truly opens up the gaming experience.

[ChronoJoe]

Given that they provide no source for the quote, and it reads like it was written by a child, I would be very careful making any future plans based on this information. There's considerable reason to doubt it's legitimacy.

It's also from steam first, a publication with plenty of reason to be biased towards news of this sort.

[Dynasty2021]

4K is a joke. To get 60 FPS at 4K, you need a MINIMUM of 2 GTX Titans.

That's like £1500 for the cards alone.

What does make me laugh is people think the PS4 will do 4K, when you need a £400+ card just to get above 10 FPS.

[Vegamyster]

@Dynasty2021

You shouldn't be buying Titans if you're only using them for Gaming, two GTX 780 Ti's or a R9 295x2 would be cheaper and give you better performance.

[showtimefolks]

Future_2015

its comments like these that people dislike pc gamers.

[HystericalGamez]

Lol @Razputin hating pretty hard.

If the game's resolution goes up to 4k and he has a rig that can run it, whats stopping him from doing so? And a POS 4k display? Go on best buy and see if you can find a POS 4k display.

I'll wait.

And 30? No. If this is coming to PC, it'll support 60 FPS+.

[AndrewLB]

I wouldn't consider the new Dell Ultrasharp UP2414Q which does 4k/60 and costs $799 anything but an amazing display. I own 2x Ultrasharp 24" displays (1200p) and they are incredible monitors.

[Razputin]

I'm not hating. The hardware isn't really there yet believe me. And a post above you proves it.

[MEsoJD]

.

[Jughead3416]

It's not coming to PC anytime soon, so if you can wait about a year then more power to you. I'm gettin this bad boy day 1 though. I do know the disappointment when a popular game isn't coming to your system right away though.

[XiMasterChief]

Nobody gives a shizzle about what you're getting Day 1.

[Jughead3416]

I give a shizzle. You kinda sound like a hater. Don't hate.

[wastedcells]

[Wyesvin]

I have a ps4 but i'll still wait for the pc version

[JackOfAllBlades]

I wish I could transfer my character from PS4 to PC, make it happen Bungie!

[Haki1112]

well I hope so I have no problem going from One > 360 > to ps4 and my chars was still there

[thisismyaccount]

I will have a white PS4+Destiny and no buts, ifs or waits, i´m gonna play destiny on the console. 28" versus 65" plasma or beamer... it´s an easy choice to me... sometimes the bigger, the better ;)

[wtopez]

Yeah cause you can't connect a PC to a Plasma...

[MadLad]

That's fantastic, but a PC can be setup to a television you know.

[Neixus]

I don't really get why you guys disagree with him, a completely neutral comment about PC, this is once in a lifetime guys.

I will maybe buy it on ps4 to play with my friends, then later on grab it on pc for my own enjoyment.

[TardcoreGamer]

With you on that one, Wyesvin. A 30fps PS4 version was reason enough to wait for the PC version. 30fps is a deal-breaker in my book. Especially when it comes to first person shooters.

[the_mack_attack3]

I think they wanted to see the pre-order numbers before making a solid decision on a PC version!

[Spurg]

I wanna wait for pc but March is when uni work gets heavy...The beta made me want to play it as soon as it releases.

[Vegamyster]

Where did they get that quote from?

[SteamFirst]

Anonymous, but reliable source :) Just the answer you wanted to hear I am sure.

[Darkstares]

I don't doubt it will come to the PC, but until it does why bother suggesting it is without confirmation like the title says?

[ZoyosJD]

For your sake you best hope your "reliable source" didn't misinterpret anything at all, because this is absolutely the biggest story/rumor I've seen from your site.

This may very well be your trial by fire.

Best of luck with your site.

[jdiggitty]

That's a BS quote and you know it.

"the console release will be called 0.9"

Right. They're going to just verbally crap all over everyone's hard work like that. I call BS

[Kayant]

Loooool yh right this rumor is based on the fake leak from kdramastars with added console flamebait.

http://www.kdramastars.com/...

[fallacious]

By anonymous source, do you mean yourself?

[Shaner_Bock]

This is why people need to stay away from sites like this..."Anonymous, but a reliable source....?" And what about SteamFirst, are they reliable?

So, if it's officially announced that it will come out for Steam, then the author is right and if it doesn't the author's "reliable" source is no longer reliable. The author can get away with this article whether or not the "source" is legitimate or even real.

But I digress; The most important thing is if Red Dead Redemption will ever come to PC.

[admiralvic]

Smart money says the author or someone on Steam First made it up. It reads in a way that is obviously intended to invoke reaction (like noting the console version is a beta) and not how typical insider information reads. If it was a legitimate quote it would be far more vague and most likely have more information on the situation than the game itself.

[N311V]

Exactly my thought. I frequent Bengie's Destiny forum and there's not even a whisper of a PC release. Coming here was the first I've heard of it. This quote certainly hasn't come from Bungie although it's made to sound official.

[aquamala]

I hope it's true but what's the source for that quote?

[Darkstares]

There isn't one, so the other question is why are people approving these articles?

[SteamFirst]

Anonymous industry leads expect to not be sourced. Makes total sense. Anonymous. Just because the source isn't shared does not mean the content is invalid. It definitely should be approved.

[admiralvic]

@ SteamFirst

Someone can remain anonymous, but when EVERYTHING is anonymous it raises flags, especially when you don't even reveal where the quote came from. Heck, you mentioned above said source was reliable, thus they logically leaked / revealed other stuff that you could have sourced.

You could have easily said "For a while people have been waiting for Bungie to reveal a PC version of Destiny and according to our sources, it might not be much longer. Today we received an E-Mail with the following quote: -insert quote- While this should still be considered a rumor, the information has revealed accurate information in the past including -leak-, -leak-, and of course -leak-. "

See, nowhere in there is the source named or is really any information given, so I don't see the issue you're trying to raise.

@ Darkstares

These articles get approved for two main reasons. The first is that most people don't actually click on an article to verify if it's legit and will approve news / articles they think sound interesting. The other and probably more accurate reason is the flaw in the approval system. Since contributors need to approve 4 articles for every 5 they submit, you'll see a lot of people that work for sites just approve the first 4 articles they see so they can submit an article. This is only fueled by the no duplicates rule, as you could have something big and genuinely applying effort to approve articles might result in you missing the article. It's a shame, but happens.

[ATi_Elite]

Imagine Destiny with Icenhancer mod

[Mac420]

^^^ An that is why I hope it never goes to PC . To many PC gamers are only worried about how many mods they can put on a game to make the fidelity better.

This game is a work of art an needs no mods, Want pretty eye candy, go play Crysis an enjoy no substance.

[jairusmonillas]

not everyone plays pc for mods, others play pc for keyboard mouse and superior raw graphics. who told you pc can't have the best graphics without mods? the only game that really benefits mods is gta only.

[atticus14]

GTA only? lol.

[Pandamobile]

What a stupid comment.

[Future_2015]

mods make the games better, if you saw or played any games with good mods like skyrim u wouldnt be making stupid comments that u dont know anything about

[rocketpanda]

You sir just went full retard. It will be great WHEN it comes to the PC. Go cry some more salt fanboy tears.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Relax.

[AD705]

Then don't use them and what's so bad about mods anyway?

[tee_bag242]

Depends what kind of mod. If its a mod that increases draw distance, lighting distance and graphics that are already there... count me in.
If its a mod that ruins the original lore of the game.. no thanks.
Again, the key word here is 'choice'

[TheDevKit]

This is why I'll never purchase a PS4/Xbox One. Too many owners are interested in resolution a framerate.

[Seafort]

You sound like a spoiled brat keeping all his sweeties to himself :)

The only way I will play Destiny is if I get the PC version.

I really don't want to be tied to a platform I have no control of ever again.

Mods made Skyrim what it is today on PC. It's the same with many other games on PC. Console only gamers miss out on so much amazing free content from fellow gamers/modders.

Once upon a time map packs were free too on PC but not any more because of the consoles.

[MadLad]

"An that is why I hope it never goes to PC . To many PC gamers are only worried about how many mods they can put on a game to make the fidelity better."

If the idea of people adding to an experience in order for them to enjoy it more annoys you then, hey, that's on you.
Seems petty.

[deadfrag]

The beta run smooth at 30fps locked ,but i can see myself enjoying this game even more at 60fps+ ! So if this pc version gets confirmed i will buy it !

[KuroKazuma]

yea, raids on pc almost impossible?
no one from my steam list would buy this game D:

[deadfrag]

Bungie needs to change the requirements of the need for 6 friend players in order to play end game raids ;im seeing many people myself included not buying this game if they dont offer the option of matchmaking.

[shinrock]

I feel the same way.

[Letros]

Hi Destiny, meet 60fps.

[WeAreLegion]

You kidding me? 120 locked, bro!

[Letros]

Yea!!!

[masterfox]

You kidding me ? 240 locked, bro, bro!

[MadLad]

I run 144.
I'm somewhere in the middle, dude guy.

[iNFAMOUZ1]

ok and you are who, i thought this was official info

[Yo Mama]

This is the fakest shit I've read in a long time. Wishful thinking by the author. "Devs consider the consoles .9 beta and the pc will be the 1.0"? Get the heck out of here with that nonsense. No one at Bungie or Activision would talk like that. Vote this website down.

[Doge]

Don't tell me what to do.

[WheatBread]

lol

[atticus14]

why not? Considering that this is even true the game will have been out for 6 months on consoles and all content and polish will be added to the later PC version, so by the time the PC version comes out it will be a better launch experience. Sounds like your a bit biased and can't see past the initial butthurt of the PC getting the game.

This is no different then saying GTA 5 for ps3 was a beta for ps4.

[masterfox]

yes we are going to pay 60 bucks!! for a beta!! :D

I feel so intelligent!!

[brotherlymoses]

Mmm 60fps

[dota2champion]

Oh nice, i was going to get it for ps3,but will get it for steam now:D

[Vladplaya]

Never really was excited for this game, but this is good news. Even though I always thought they will release it on PC anyways.

[user9597082]

It's baffles me how quickly they undermined a nice announcement with such an asinine statement.

[Shadonic]

Thus begins the PC gamers "Feels Good man" Destiny Era. Now we have to wait for it to finally come out for PC before people state the obvious about it being so much better on PC in any and every article related to Destiny.

[LightDiego]

Just another PC fanboy dreaming loud, pc gamers always hate console games but always ask for a version for your platform, all fanboys are annoying, but they are the worst without a doubt...

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

All they do is beg for console games. All they do. Start petitions and cry. But they can keep dreaming though.

[Eiffel]

If I had a nickel for every time I've seen a PC exclusive indie title get begged for a console release. I'd have enough to rent a game from PS Now for a year.

[TheDevKit]

You have fun paying for games from older platforms.

[tee_bag242]

What are you talking about. I have every console since NES and a gaming PC. I cant blame anyone with a gaming PC for not buying either of the new consoles when so little games are on offer right now.

95% of the games now are multiplatform and always run ridiculously better on PC. Don't act like a butthurt cheerleader . Some people support more than 1 platform.

[kingduqc]

pc gamers always hate playing the inferior version of the game*

fixed that for you

[user5669510]

i think most of use is just throwing it in yall face because yall are running out of ammo. destiny looks ok just like halo. i wouldnt mind if it was port, unlike ps fanboys like you i dont shun or downplay games thats on other platform because i am a gamer. when have you seen any of use say that we wouldnt play or a game sucks or boring. thats something yall. do we are use to people having different tastes and not following the masses.

by the way most of us have console. we can afford these so called $10000 rigs so why wouldnt we buy a console if were gamers. dont give because we re gfx whore becuase ps fanboys are shining in that area. we still love playing game with dated gfx because of gameplay. how do gfx whores do that.

ps fanboys are far the worst they will contradict themselves to no end. the will say a game sucks or look boring because it not on a ps platform then beg for a port then say that platform has no games. dont let it get port then its the best thing since sliced bread. dont let it only be ported to a ps console then they are going to be foaming from the mouth starting flame wars.

how is that the only time a ps fanboy gives other console credit is when they try to bash or deflect something pc gamers say. and most of the times we just say common sense sh!t. sony gymnastics

[MadLad]

I don't know.
I find this statement of yours rather annoying as well.

[ThichQuangDuck]

Looks like I am not buying a console this fall

[tee_bag242]

Same... No Mans Sky was the only title that interested me but now that's coming to PC too.
PC is turning out to be the winner this gen so far.

[ThichQuangDuck]

I may get one for Gears of War down the line and still miss the console environment. I also don't fully trust this rumor so am on the fence.

[ninjahunter]

I now care about this game 100% more.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

Getting it on ps4 still...HOWEVER, definitely getting it again when it's on pc (like duhh)

[Gatsu]

I call it fake, don't think it will be coming to PC anytime soon. Maybe after 10 years, just like with The Phantom Pain.

[pandehz]

So basically Destiny is releasing in March after they're done with the paid open beta.

Uh oh....

[Lon3wolf]

This should have a big rumour tag tbh, nothing official here is there. Would be great if it did come to PC though as I don't have my PS4 yet (will be picking one up next year).

[isa_scout]

Yeah this is ridiculous. I think it would be great if the game came to PC, but a no name website getting a quote from an anonomous source when no other big website has any info to confirm this news makes me think this is just a click bait article. Curb your enthusiasm until we hear official word from Bungie people.
I highly doubt they would call a game they've been working on since 2009 a beta when it releases on consoles. They wouldn't risk alienating the very people that will make this game successful. This site smells fishy. Never even heard of it before today.

[Paprika]

Destiny on PC........ DSOgaming modding time, yes please!

[Mr Marvel]

Hate gaming on PC... PS4 version for me.

[listenkids]

'The console release will be called beta .9 and devs feel a PC release will really be a 1.0'

Is this part of the r/pcmasterrace satire?

[CervantesPR]

this is so bull I can get this on PC but all my friends are on PS4, it bothers me so much that its 30FPS on PS4 and xbox one. I mean love the game and all but I want the 60FPS option. I can accept a game not running at 60FPS on the campaign but make it 60FPS on multiplayer on PS4, it can play destiny at 60FPS.

[UnHoly_One]

I can't believe that people are actually buying this line of crap.

There is no way somebody came out and said that they are calling the console version a beta.

Get real, this is pure fantasy.

[OUROSMAG]

Did anyone bother to read the article? this is absolute trash. "“Internally, Bungie feels the current console beta version of Destiny was considered more of an Alpha. The console release will be called beta .9 and devs feel a PC release will really be a 1.0 ."

lmfao....

[Shinuz]

Loved the alpha and beta on ps4 but the FOV and the 30fps was a deal breaker for me as well as the fact you can't play with a Keyb + mouse.

Here's hoping this rumor is true.

[mochachino]

No source, how did this get approved?

console version is beta .9??? Sounds like some PC fanboy making stuff up.

[PurpHerbison]

We need to go back to a time where exclusives are super common. Back when we didn't even think to call them exclusives cause it was just standard to have different variety across different consoles. Why do multi-plat games become more and more common? I swear there is nothing unique anymore. There used to be clear cut lines that separated consoles from each other as well as PC. Might as well merge into one big console at this rate.

[Grave]

Can't play ArmA II ACE mod on a console yo.

[FastRedPonyCar]

My decision to upgrade my PC instead of buying an xbone or ps4 continues to appear to be the correct decision.

I am firmly in the mind set that if microsoft studios or sony did not develop a game, it will be on PC regardless of whether or not indicated at launch.

At least bungie will have added enough content to make this game worth my money by the time it hits PC.

[PurpHerbison]

Definitely a safe call for the time being.
