'Bungie,' the game development studio behind the popular 'Destiny' online first-person-shooter role-playing game, announced that it is helping Destiny 2 Stadia players continue to enjoy the game once the game streaming service shuts down.
Bungie is offering each registered Stadia player with a Destiny 2 account one free month of GeForce Now, a popular NVIDIA-owned game streaming service available on nearly all platforms. This helps these players gain temporary access to the GeForce Now game library while they find a new way to enjoy their favorite titles lost to time. Additionally, as Destiny 2 features limited cross-progression between platforms, Bungie is allowing these players to continue their progress on other devices, meaning their invested hours on Stadia will not be lost.
