Everything in terms of actual playable content will be the same on PC on October 24th. Sony's time-bound exclusive content for Destiny is not only affecting Xbox One players, but PC gamers as well.

Bungie System Features Used in Events
Destiny 2 on PC supports 4K resolution and frames that cannot be turned off. It also has ultra-widescreen support, FOV slider and compatibility with HDR displays.

Destiny 2 PC Demo

Destiny 2 Review
If you're hoping that the game is significantly different from the original Destiny , you may be disappointed, but those looking for a refined version of that game will be greatly appreciated.

Blizzard uses Battle.net
It uses Blizzard's desktop application. The first game not developed by Blizzard to appear directly on the platform. Activision and Blizzard have recently changed their names but will be referred to as Blizzard Battle.net until they move forward.
Unfortunately, there will be no transfers of Destiny 1 power, Eververse-related items, and currencies. While your character's appearance has not been abandoned for the sequel to console owners, there has been no statement to support any transfer from console to PC.
