Bungie intends to allow Destiny players on old gen systems to transfer their character saves to PS4 and Xbox One, reports Polygon.

“We’re interested in making sure that last gen character can move to next gen,” explained investment lead Tyson Green at a press event attended by Polygon. “A lot of people are going to buy Destiny on PS3 or Xbox 360 and then get a PS4 for Christmas. Don’t tell me I wasted those last 100 hours there. So we’re really interested in supporting that.

“Our longer-term platform plans, I couldn’t speak to right now. But we don’t want to lock people in.”

However, the specifics on how such transfers will work are not available.

Destiny will launch September 9 for PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360.

So far this generation gamers have only been able to transfer from like to like, meaning moving a character from Xbox 360 to PS4 probably won’t be offered.
