Destiny 2 finally gets cross-play support today

Last year, Bungie announced plans to bring cross-play to Destiny 2. The feature mistakenly went live early in May and was later rolled out again in a limited time beta test. Now, with Season of the Lost, cross-play will be officially live in Destiny 2. 

During Bungie's big stream this evening, the studio announced the next season for Destiny 2 – Season of the Lost, which kicks off today. Moving forward, PvE matchmaking will include Xbox, PlayStation and PC players.

For PvP activities, cross-play does have some limitations in place, with PC players only being matched with other PC players and console/Stadia players being matched together in their own pool. At the time of launch, there is no cross-platform voice chat solution in place, but better communication tools should be added in later down the line.

Cross-play is just a small part of what will be coming to Destiny 2 today. Currently, the game is offline for maintenance, but Season of the Lost will begin at 8PM BST.

KitGuru Says: The Destiny 2 matchmaking pool is about to get a lot bigger, which is great news, particularly now that there are no more platform-exclusive content deals in place.

KitGuru Games: Corporate nonsense has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy as game removed from over 170 countries

It tends to take a lot for gamers to 'forgive' a studio after messing up a launch, for instance CD Projekt Red had to spend three additional years developing Cyberpunk 2077 before many were willing to give the game another shot. In the case of Helldivers 2, despite the game having some rough server issues at launch, the game turned out to be so good that many players simply waited things out, without leaving a trail of negative reviews. Now, a case of incredibly poor communication and a poorly thought-out plan from the game's publisher, Sony, has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy, with the game being removed from over 170 countries.
