. The process to connect your accounts is pretty painless, but you'll need to do it from your computer, not your console. While cross-save isn't quite as good as cross-play, having your favorite guardian available on multiple platforms is a big deal.

Pretty painless, right? Of course, it isn't quite as excellent as cross-play, and you can't merge your silver, so if you have some on an account you don't want to use, you may want to spend it first. It'll still be there if you ever disconnect from cross-save, but it seems unlikely that you will.

If you do decide to disconnect, it's important to note that you won't be able to reconnect for another 90 days. Bungie hasn't said why, except to say that it's "to prevent fraud." I don't know what fraud you could be using as none of your paid content crosses over, but that's what Bungie has decreed.

Cross-save is a great move forward for the Destiny franchise. When

comes around, it will be easier than ever to enjoy your content the way you want to.

The nightmares are coming

With the release of Shadowkeep, Destiny 2 starts a brand new chapter. This edition has a year's worth of season passes too. Bargain.
