Unfortunately, no. You cannot directly transfer your Destiny 2 save data from Xbox to Steam. Bungie, the developers of Destiny 2, utilizes a system where save data is tied to your Bungie.net account, not to your specific platform (Xbox, PlayStation, PC via Battle.net, PC via Steam, etc.).

Understanding Destiny 2's Cross-Save System

Destiny 2's cross-save functionality allows you to access your character and progress across different platforms provided you link them all to your Bungie.net account. However, this doesn't mean a simple copy-paste of your save file. The process requires you to:

1. Link your Xbox account to your Bungie.net account: This is crucial. If you haven't already, you'll need to do this in the Destiny 2 settings menu.

2. Install Destiny 2 on Steam: Download and install the game through Steam.

3. Log in using your Bungie.net account: Once installed, launch Destiny 2 on Steam and log in using the same Bungie.net account that you linked your Xbox progress to.

After completing these steps, your character and progress from your Xbox account should be available on your Steam version of Destiny 2. This is a transfer of your progress, not a direct import of a save file.

Important Considerations

• Cross-save limitations: While cross-save allows progress transfer, some items might be platform-specific. This is rare but possible.
• Character selection: You'll have access to the characters you created on your Xbox account, but you'll still be selecting them from your Bungie.net account interface within the game itself.
• Time required: The actual transfer process can sometimes take a few minutes. Be patient!

If you are still unable to access your Xbox progress after following these steps, contacting Bungie support is recommended. They can help troubleshoot any issues you might be experiencing.
