Bungie meddeler i forbindelse med annonceringen, at Destiny serien forbliver multiplatform og at handlen ikke kommer til at påvirke The Witch Queen udvidelsen, der ikke vil have eksklusivt indhold på PlayStation. Endelig vil handlen heller ikke indvirkning på afslutningen af den 10 år lange Destiny saga i 2024.
Sony boss Jim Ryan siger:
We've had a strong partnership with Bungie since the inception of the Destiny franchise, and I couldn't be more thrilled to officially welcome the studio to the PlayStation family. This is an important step in our strategy to expand the reach of PlayStation to a much wider audience. We understand how vital Bungie's community is to the studio and look forward to supporting them as they remain independent and continue to grow. Like Bungie, our community is core to PlayStation's DNA, and our shared passion for the gamer and building the best place to play will now evolve even further.
Endelig kommentere Bungie på, om deres spil i fremtiden vil blive eksklusive til PlayStation:
No. We want the worlds we are creating to extend to anywhere people play games. We will continue to be self-published, creatively independent, and we will continue to drive one, unified Bungie community.
Sonys opkøb af Bungie kommer kort efter at Microsoft annoncerede at de havde købt Activision Blizzard for svimlende 450 milliarder kroner, men dette opkøb kan ikke ses som en direkte modreaktion på Microsofts opkøb, da denne slags handler ikke bliver foretaget på et par uger.
Hvad tænker du om at Bungie nu er under Sonys vinger?
