It's simple, and Bungie possibly COULD do it... (Destiny)

Tell me more about how this works with GTAV, though. I can't find any info on it.

Basically, all of your character info is stored on Rockstar's servers, much in the way that your CoD:Ghosts stats line up across multiple consoles.

Theoretically speaking, your 360 data for GTA V can easily be applied to your PC version, and you just continue play from there, assuming you have content parity.

Since BNet lets you link your PSN and Live accounts to a single profile, and all of your character data is stored on their servers (the Alphanet even let you mess with your character's loadout directly), it would theoretically be no problem to simply update your profile whenever you jumped from console to console, since Bungie has said that content-wise, there's no difference between last-gen and current gen versions of the game. If for whatever reason you want to go to the Xbox versions of the game (lol), it could just say "some content is either missing, or will not load" and leave the exclusive content in a grayed-out slot in your inventory. (Battlefield 4 does this if you're suddenly missing DLC content)

PS3 has the cross-save functionality with the Vita, and it works in very much this same way (sans servers, since the save data is transferred directly).


The ONLY hindrance to this would be Microsoft, since Sony's pretty open-minded when it comes to cross-platforming (Shadowrun aside)...
