Destiny 2: Bungie Implements Age Gating on All Services
Bungie is set to implement age gating on all of their services, starting August 15, 2023. After all, these changes are essential for legal adherence.
According to the August 10 TWID, Bungie.net users will soon experience said requirements. During the sign-in or creating a new account, they’ll have to provide the system their birth date and country of origin. This info is important for the studio to follow the latest online rules and make the game safer and more tailored for players worldwide.
On the day of implementation, each and every active session will expire. Even those on the Destiny 2 Companion app and other third-party sites. So, a brief interruption in the journey of the Guardians is to be expected. After that, a reauthentication process will be necessary to access these services. Players must type in the newly required information to log in. Thus, ensuring that the user base is on the same page.
It’s best to take a look at the company’s Privacy Policy. It provides comprehensive insights into how player data is handled.

is this going to affect the destiny game on consoles or just by using their app and 3 party sites?
Hi 😀
According to the original announcement from Bungie, the changes will impact Bungie.net users, the Destiny 2 Companion app, and third-party sites. It doesn’t specifically mention any impact on the Destiny game itself on consoles. Console players are seemingly unaffected for now. You can find the original post here:
