HoursBungie publishes no dedicated deceased-account form, estates team, or estates address, and no service hours for any of these channels. The general Bungie Help submit-a-request route redirects to a Bungie.net sign-in, which an estate representative cannot and must not complete. Requests for a copy of the information Bungie maintains, correction, or deletion go through the Data Privacy Requests form — but that form also requires signing in to the Bungie.net profile. For exactly that gap 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, and Bungie's Privacy Policy publishes the postal address above for privacy correspondence. Read the caveat with it: the same page states that data erasure and data access requests require players to sign into their Bungie.net profiles for security purposes, so the credential-free route starts a request Bungie may still decline to complete. Bungie validates the requester before acting and cancels 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

7 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 your Bungie games are tied to, and plan those accounts through their own estate guides — that is where the purchased content actually lives, and each store has its own deceased-user policy.
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, Bungie states you do not own or have any property interest in the in-game content, and it states that unspent virtual currency is non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
4
Spend down any Silver balance rather than leaving it on the account. Silver balances are not shared across Destiny releases, Bungie does not refund or transfer Silver, and an unspent balance is forfeited with the account by default — so it is worth more used than banked.
5
Think before enabling or changing Cross Save late in life. Deactivating it requires authenticating every linked platform account and then imposes an unskippable 90-day lockout with no exceptions, and Bungie states it cannot remove connected platform accounts from a profile under any circumstances — so the configuration you leave behind is the one your executor will have to work with.
6
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 ask for closure. 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.
7
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, and Bungie states that "Cross Save does not permanently move characters to another platform, or merge characters from multiple accounts together." DLC licenses do not transfer between platforms with Cross Save and must be bought separately on each platform, and Silver balances are not shared across Destiny releases. Bungie acknowledges that some platforms allow a player who owns Destiny content licenses to share game content with other accounts on the same system, but that is a platform feature governed by the platform, players using it may not be able to access all DLC, add-ons, or promotional items, and Bungie states it "can only support Destiny content for accounts that own the content" and does not support any issues with loss of access to items on accounts using game sharing.

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 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 identify it and follow up. Spend down any Silver rather than leaving a balance, because Bungie neither refunds nor transfers it. Do not treat the Bungie.net account, in-game progress, or unspent Silver as transferable estate assets, and do not leave your password for your executor to use — the sanctioned route is a written request to Bungie, not a sign-in as you. A digital-assets consent clause in your will or trust lets your executor ask as an authorized representative.

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.
