Destiny: Bungie discusses PC, why it’s dropping support on last-gen

Speaking with GameSpot, Bungie’s Christopher Barrett discussed the possibility that Destiny may head to PC alongside the developer’s decision to focus purely on new content for current-gen consoles.

“No updates on that today,” he said of Destiny on PC, “But we’re always looking at what platforms make sense for Destiny.”

The game’s next expansion, “Rise of Iron”, heads to Xbox One and PS4 in September, skipping Xbox 360 and PS3.

“It was a good time for us to really focus on the current-gen platforms; we’ve said that over 90 percent of our players now are on the current-gen platforms,” Barrett said of the decision. “We’ve gotten to the point where to continue to add new stuff, we would start to have to take things away. And so, we really wanted to make sure Rise of Iron is the best experience possible. So we’ve focused on current-gen for now.”
