Destiny 1 project, which aims to port the game to PC, seemingly gets a nod from Bungie boss
Modders behind Project Golden Age are rebuilding the original Destiny to run on PC, and footage of the game drew a joking comment from Bungie product head Josh Deane. The project could bring the console-only shooter to PC, but Deane’s remark is not confirmation that Bungie plans an official release.
The footage shows parts of the game running at 4K and well above 60 frames per second, with a wider field of view than the console version. The team is reconstructing the game by analysing client and server requests and responses; its GitLab page also mentions Claude’s markdown tool. The build still has physics and rendering problems, and the article says a Sony copyright takedown may follow.
- Modders are rebuilding Destiny 1 for PC.
- Footage shows 4K gameplay above 60fps.
- A Bungie boss joked about the project, without endorsing it.
New here? Start with this
Destiny is a science-fiction shooter made by Bungie, first released in 2014 for PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Players explore its worlds, take on missions and fight enemies, often alongside other players online. Its original version was not released for PC.
Project Golden Age is a fan effort to rebuild that original game so it can run on computers. Bungie, the studio behind Destiny, is now part of Sony, which owns the game’s rights. That means an unofficial remake may face copyright issues, and a staff member’s public remark does not amount to approval from Bungie or Sony.
The project matters to players who want to revisit the original game on PC, where higher frame rates and wider views may be possible. But rebuilding an online game involves recreating how its software and servers communicate, and the work is still unfinished.
