Bungie community manager, Dylan Gafner (who goes by dmg04 online), took to the Destiny subreddit to provide fans with an outlook on how this feature that has been requested of Sony for years could affect players in Destiny 2. Gafner said the developer is testing the name change and how it will affect the game, and while Bungie can’t guarantee anything completely until Sony’s name change system is fully in place, it’s looking like Destiny 2 players will not be negatively affected by any of the issues mentioned by Sony.
Gafner said that even includes legacy information and content that carried over from Destiny 1 such as emblems. He did say that the test team at Bungie will continue to look into issues that may arise from PSN’s name change, saying that there may be some “edge-case scenarios” that could occur in regards to playing Destiny 1, but that Destiny 2 is expected to be in the clear.
Gafner did say that while Bungie does not expect widespread issues in Destiny 2 caused by the PSN name change feature, if problems do arise they are expected to minor and should not be frequent or severe:
Sony is currently testing a beta of the PSN name change feature, which the company said will roll out in early 2019 for all users.
Destiny 2: Forsaken is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
