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: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
