The original Destiny game is now playable on PC thanks to the efforts of several notable communities all working together. Having launched on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One platforms back in the day, the game never received an official PC release, and it has largely been superseded by the sequel, Destiny, though some would still prefer to return to the old classic on a new platform.
It was due to the efforts of Bungie and Activision's Vicarious Visions that Destiny's sequel received a proper PC port that's still running as one of the most popular games on Steam. These efforts, however, never got extended to the 2014 original, and though the game is still available on previous generation consoles, the experience is far from ideal at this time.
Destiny fan Lucas has dedicated his YouTube channel to the slow but steady progress that he's been making in getting the game to run on PC through the RPCS3 emulator. Since RPCS3 now boots every single PS3 game, this obviously extends to the PS3 version of Destiny, too, but its live-service elements had previously hindered things. That's where the game's unofficial alternative server, V4NGUARD, comes into play, allowing Lucas to connect to it and load into Destiny's old Tower on PC via RPCS3.
Since the Destiny Tower has changed a lot over the years, seeing the old location in action once more may feel nostalgic to those who enjoyed the game on last-gen consoles. PC players jumping into the fray for the first time, however, can look forward to a whole slew of surprises even before they go off on a Strike or even a Raid. For the time being, however, this is not recommended. Not only are V4NGUARD servers not yet available for public use, but Lucas's own video plainly shows that Destiny isn't yet fully playable via emulation.
There are a couple of things worth noting here. Firstly, since RPCS3 emulates the PS3 version of Destiny, there's no Rise of Iron DLC content available, which is bound to come as a disappointment to many players. Secondly, performance is currently rather unreliable, with the game hitching and stuttering hard, even if it was possible to ignore all the visual problems. Lucas noted that V4NGUARD would receive a public alpha release sometime early in 2023, likely around March, which will allow some PC gamers to brave the old Destiny content to see how the development is progressing.
Though some may have felt that Destiny on PC was a bad thing at one point in time, things have changed substantially in the years since, with a huge number of players having joined Bungie's community without playing on consoles. The first Destiny game is still trapped on old hardware, and though it's going to take time for V4NGUARD and RPCS3 to get everything sorted out, things are looking up for those eager to give the old classic a shot on PC.
Destiny is available on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
