Bungie gave Destiny 2 players a big update on the developer’s plans throughout 2021, as well as a peek in 2022. There are great campaigns and additions coming, but one of the biggest announcements is the addition of cross-play between Windows PC and console players.
The cross game is reaching the masses in season 15. We will be doing some internal releases and alpha testing in season 14 to prepare for a widespread release this fall. With Crossplay, you can play with all your friends, no matter what platform you call home. And don’t worry, we will not combine console and PC players in the Crucible, unless PC players specifically invite their console friends to play with them in the PC Crucible pools.
Previously, PC players were blocked from playing with PC players only and console players were in the same boat. In PvP games and first-person shooter games, the keyboard and mouse controls are considered to be a little more accurate, which is an advantage in PvP modes such as Crucible. Fortunately, invasions and cooperative parts of the game do not have the same restrictions.
This update should provide the best of both worlds. If console players want to enter the Crucible against PC players, they can do so by playing with PC friends. Otherwise, everyone will be able to play together, what you should do Destiny 2 a much easier social experience to share.
Cross-play is planned for the fall of 2021, but Bungie will test the feature during the 14th season with internal and alpha tests. More details will come about these tests in the future, but for now, it is promising to know that Destiny 2 players will eventually come together for a good old-fashioned attack.
