HoursBungie publishes no dedicated deceased-account form, estates team, or mailing address. General account requests (access, closure) go through Bungie Help's submit-a-request ticket system at help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/requests/new. Requests for a copy of the information Bungie maintains, correction, or deletion go through the Data Privacy Requests form — but that form requires signing in to the Bungie.net profile, which an estate representative cannot and must not do. For exactly that case Bungie publishes an alternative: people who cannot sign in, or who have no Bungie.net profile, can email privacyrequests@bungie.com to start a privacy request. Bungie validates the requester before acting and closes out requests it cannot validate.

Bungie, Inc.'s terms state that game content are forfeited when the account holder dies. Lifetime planning is the only path to extracting value from the account before that happens.

How to protect your Bungie game content

6 lifetime planning steps for your Bungie game content:

1
Record which platform (PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, or Epic) you bought Destiny 2 and each expansion on, since those licenses are platform-bound and any future access runs through that store account, not Bungie.
2
Note which platform store accounts (PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Epic) your Bungie games are tied to, and plan those accounts through their own estate guides — that is where the purchased content actually lives.
3
Do not count the Bungie.net account, Destiny 2 progress, or unspent Silver as transferable assets in your estate. The license is personal and non-transferable, Silver cannot be transferred or refunded, and Bungie does not transfer or merge accounts.
4
Spend down any Silver balance rather than leaving it on the account. Silver is bound to the account and the Destiny release that bought it, Bungie does not refund or transfer it, and an unspent balance is forfeited with the account by default — so it is worth more used than banked.
5
Note that you hold a Bungie.net account, which email it uses, and your Bungie Name, so your executor can identify the account, request the records Bungie holds, and close it. Do not leave your password for them to use: the license is personal, and the sanctioned route for your family is a written request to Bungie, not a sign-in as you.
6
Record a digital-assets consent clause in your will or trust authorizing your executor to request records and account handling from providers, so the executor is asking as an authorized representative rather than trying to sign in as you.

Family sharing

Bungie does not offer a family-sharing or account-pooling program for Destiny 2 content. Cross Save lets one person link their own PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Epic accounts to play one set of characters across platforms; it is not a way to share an account or move licenses to another person. DLC licenses do not transfer between platforms with Cross Save and must be purchased separately on each platform, and Silver stays bound to the account and platform that bought it. Any platform-level family sharing (for example, library sharing on a console store) is governed by that platform, not Bungie.

Should you save your passwords for your family?

Some people store account passwords so a family member can sign in later. The practice has three practical limits:

  • Two-factor authentication often blocks it. Most accounts require a second factor — a code sent to a phone, an authenticator app, a passkey, or a physical key. A saved password alone frequently does not grant access, and the recovery codes that would are easy to lose or let go stale.
  • It usually conflicts with the platform's terms. Most operators prohibit account sharing and signing in as another person, including after a death. Stored credentials are not the operator's recognized access path, and using them can violate the terms of service.
  • Operators provide other paths. Where an operator offers a designation tool — Apple's Legacy Contact, Google's Inactive Account Manager, a beneficiary designation — that mechanism grants access the operator recognizes. A password manager's own emergency-access or legacy feature passes credentials through a controlled process. Digital assets named in a will or trust give a fiduciary authority under each state's Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (RUFADAA).

Frequently asked questions

Record which platform you bought Destiny 2 and each expansion on, since those licenses are platform-bound, and note which platform store accounts (PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, Epic) your executor will need to plan separately — that is where the purchased content lives. Note that you hold a Bungie.net account and which email it uses so your executor can close the account or follow up with Bungie Help. Do not treat the Bungie.net account, in-game progress, or unspent Silver as transferable estate assets, because the license is non-transferable and Silver cannot be transferred or refunded.

An inventory listing the Bungie account lets a fiduciary identify it and act on it through the operator's official channels.

Bungie does not offer beneficiary designations, so there is no program-level mechanism for directing game content to a specific person at death.
