Destiny: The Taken King’s PlayStation-only content staying exclusive for another year
Destiny’s PlayStation-exclusive content has typically been released on Xbox platforms one year after it debuted on Sony’s consoles. However, that is changing with Destiny: Rise of Iron. The expansion offers its own PlayStation 4 exclusives; those items won’t be released on Xbox One until "at least Fall 2017." But Rise of Iron also extends the exclusivity window to that point for the PlayStation exclusives in the previous expansion, Destiny: The Taken King.
Thanks to a marketing deal between Sony and Destiny publisher Activision, the game and all of its expansions have featured content that is available only on PlayStation, not Xbox. The content includes items like powerful exotic-level weapons; lengthy cooperative missions called strikes; entire quest lines; maps for Crucible, the game’s competitive multiplayer component; vehicles such as Sparrows, a Guardian’s personal hovercraft; and unique sets of armor.
Until now, the window of exclusivity was as long as one year. When The Taken King launched in September 2015 to kick off Year Two of Destiny, all of the PlayStation-only content from the game’s first year — which included the base game plus December 2014’s The Dark Below and May 2015’s House of Wolves expansions — finally came to Xbox. Players on Microsoft consoles were at last able to try the exotic hand cannon Hawkmoon and Crucible maps like Timekeeper.
The Taken King featured four types of PlayStation-exclusive content: Jade Rabbit, an exotic scout rifle; Echo Chamber, a Vex strike; a set of armor for each of the game’s three classes; and a Crucible map called Sector 618. Bungie’s April 2016 update for Destiny also included some PlayStation exclusives: Zen Meteor, an exotic sniper rifle; a Sparrow called Velumbra; and one armor set for each class.
All of that content was originally listed as exclusive until "at least Fall 2016," the beginning of Destiny’s third year existence. But it turns out that the operative phrase there was "at least."
The page on Destiny’s website about PlayStation exclusives currently lists Rise of Iron’s PS4-only content as well as three Taken King exclusives: the Sector 618 map, the Echo Chamber strike and the Jade Rabbit scout rifle. What’s more, the PlayStation Store page for Destiny: The Collection mentions "legendary armor sets," and beneath that phrase is a screenshot featuring the April update’s PlayStation-exclusive armor sets.
All of the content is listed as being exclusive to PS4 until "at least Fall 2017," whether on the Destiny website or the PlayStation Store. An Activision representative confirmed to Polygon that the fall 2017 timing is accurate. A spokesperson for the publisher said they could not confirm exactly when the timing had changed from 2016 to 2017.
That means that Destiny players on Xbox who were hoping to check out The Taken King’s PlayStation exclusives will now have to wait another whole year to play that content. (It’s unclear at this point if the April update’s exclusive weapon and Sparrow will also be locked away until next fall; we’ve asked Activision for a full list of the exclusives, and will update this article with any information we receive.)
Were Bungie, Sony, and Activision lying to Xbox owners this whole time? No — not technically, anyway. The phrase "at least" in every description of Destiny’s timed exclusivity gives the companies the wiggle room to extend the window, as they have done here. But it’s misleading at best, especially when they’ve already established the precedent of a one-year exclusivity window.
Destiny: Rise of Iron launches Sept. 20 on PS4 and Xbox One. For more details, check out our interview with Bungie from Gamescom 2016.

Who is gonna be playing the open multiplayer for Titanfall 2 this weekend? 19-21st. I just downloaded it today, gonna be ready when I get home from work.
If it's on the dashboard to download I'll be on. I hate FPS but I'll give it a shot.
Ok... So I'm preordering Deus EX a couple of minutes ago and I noticed that I randomly had a $75 xbox live refund. I've got no clue why. Obviously I use it.
Then I check my account and I noticed that xbox gave me two smaller credits earlier this year. I've been trying to get an understanding why and I couldn't find much online. Has anyone else noticed that same thing?

Re-Core looks real good so did Dead Rising 4 until all those zombies just appeared outta nowhere, I hope that was just a glitch.
SMH preorder cancelled
While Respawn is putting newfound focus on a single-player mode for Titanfall 2, the sequel to the original mech-based military shooter, the house built by former Modern Warfare developers have not forgotten what made the original so memorable. The multiplayer is seeing a few changes this time around, which console players may have already noticed during this past weekend's multiplayer tech test.
So what exactly is Respawn aiming for? To find out, Shacknews continued its chat with game director Steve Fukuda about Titanfall 2's multiplayer modes, including its design and its implementation of player feedback.
Shacknews: What do you feel is the key to differentiating Titanfall 2's multiplayer from the original game?
Steve Fukuda, game director: After the original game, we sat down and looked at it objectively. We got a lot of feedback from the outside, from fans, from research saying, "Hey, there's not enough. There's not enough content. We want more content." Internally, we played the game and came out of the play session thinking, "That was super exhausting. That was super chaotic." Why is that? We struggled with trying to answer what it was.
What it came down to was, it was difficult for players to have a predictably unpredictable kind of experience. It was difficult for players to say, "If I die here in this game mode, how do I get better?" Do I zig? Do I zag? What should I have done differently? It was hard for Titanfall players to answer that through their experience. So we went back to the drawing board so we could fix this.
We started by addressing the fact that you move so fast. You can't shoot out of the air so easily. So we slowed things down just a touch. Then also thinking more in terms of having players more proactive decisions, so instead of reacting to everything, they're thinking more like, "This match and this mode, this map, etc." They go, what things in the loadout menu will best help me fulfill that purpose. There's a much greater sense of purpose for players, so now they are thinking in terms of planning ahead, in terms of "I want to do this. This is my goal, this is my identity of how I am as a player." There's a huge difference, because all the different modes now kind of necessitate the player proactively thinking about what they want to do.
Shacknews: How is Titanfall 2's multiplayer planning to improve the pilot/Titan synergy that we saw in the first game? Will we see more strategies like using Guard Mode?
Fukuda: Here's the interesting thing about Guard Mode. They actually now really aggressively and properly use their full panel of abilities, as opposed to before where they tend to use Vortex Shield. This one, if you have Scorch and put him on Guard Mode, he's going to use the Flame Shield, Thermite Launcher, the canisters, and everything else. That's one of the big improvements to how that works in multiplayer now.
Shacknews: How has your approach to map design changed from the previous game?
Fukuda: One of the big efforts there was trying to think of the degree of verticality, the sort of "swiss cheese" effect. But now we have a 3D "swiss cheese" effect. So we started thinking more in terms of simplifying the concept and using what the designers call a "window pane" effect, where we think in terms of lanes. Defined paths become the norm: the left, the middle, the right. There's a greater simplification of the player's understanding of the environment, so that the environment becomes more predictable and becomes less about just drawing lines across the map from any point to any point where it just becomes a mess. We're trying to make sure the level is designed in a way that gets these trendy routes and feels more fundamental.
Shacknews: What are some of your favorite additions to multiplayer, whether it's new weapons or new Titans?
Fukuda: While all the physical toys and abilities are really exciting, I do like stim. Stim is much faster than in the original game, which lets you just really fly around. It's really fun.
But what I'm really excited about is the Networks and the social element of that. It's the chat window, the IRC, the whole thing. It brings back memories of playing Counter-Strike on a server that I was familiar with and going in there all the time and recognizing the names. It has a sort of "going to a favorite bar" kind of feeling.
But on the gameplay side, I'm really looking forward to the progression system. The progression system is much more in-depth. Now you're leveling your weapons, you're leveling your Titans, and you're leveling yourself. The range of unlocks, cosmetic and functional, are greatly expanded, so there's something in there for everybody. And there's no cap. There is a turnaround point and at the turnaround point, things will start switching to "v.1" font or "v.2" font and it'll cycle around each time. So I actually wonder if anyone will get to "v-four digits" or something.
Shacknews: If there's one thing I remember about the original Titanfall, it was the player base. The Xbox One community thrived for years. I could always log in and reliably find a game. But the PC player base tapered off after just a couple of months. So you might have already touched on this with Networks, but how do you plan to maintain an active player base across all platforms?
Fukuda: I think that's going to come down to us watching to see how the players react to the game. The game is considerably different in the way we're approaching the problems of the game. I think it's going to come down to actually watching what is happening online. We're evolving in the way we interact with the community at Respawn, so now we're thinking about how do we increase the amount of contact points between the developers and the team. Traditionally, there's been a "face of the company" model at a lot of places, but a lot of places have evolved towards a more distributed kind of approach. And we're going to start exploring that for pre-launch, post-launch, and we look forward to interacting with our fans.
Shacknews: Is the door open to cross-play across platforms? I realize Xbox One and PlayStation 4 might not be so realistic, but I'm referring more to Xbox One and PC or PlayStation 4 and PC?
Fukuda: We aren't planning on doing that at launch. For now, the answer is no, but we aren't closed to the possibility.

I don't get why this isn't bigger news. They are straight up removing purchased content from your system. What is stop them from removing Madden because licensing went fell apart with EA? or deleting content or suspending access to content because you were flagged for something in game. This is a dangerous precedent that Microsoft is starting here. This isn't like removal of a software feature... this is the removal of purchased and downloaded content.
Yeah, it's scary shit. Who knows what the future holds, but I didn't know they were being this blatant with it now.
I got the same message, but I have yet to see a refund. Did it show up as xbox live rewards?
It will show up when you try to buy something. It shows up as a credit.
