This was recognised by Bungie community team member Cozmo on Twitter, saying the feature wasn't "meant to be live yet and is not representative of the full experience", with a fix coming during launch week of the season (from May 11th).
The arrival of Season of the Splicer in May 2021 saw crossplay made available for some players.
Other recent new features include transmog and materials Synthstrand, Synthcord and Synthweave, the Splicer Gauntlet and Decrypted Data used to upgrade it.ĭestiny 2 actually had crossplay before its official debut - albeit by accident. There's more to come in the Season of the Lost roadmap, but until then, we've seen the Wayfinders Voyage, the Astral Alignment activity and finding Atlas Skew, Trivial Mystery, Enigmatic Mystery, Ascendant Mystery, Data Cache, Parallax Trajectory and Ascendant Anchor locations.Įlsewhere, we've seen new Nightfall weapons such as the Uzume RR4, Plug One.1 and Hung Jury SR4. Highlights include the Grasp of Avarice dungeon, Strange Coins, new Exotics including the Gjallarhorn and Forerunner. If not, for us, we had to wait a few moments and restart our games for each other to appear. With the in-game search disabled at launch, the best methods are to be on the same platform to begin with and add them in-game via the Roster, or use the tool in a web browser, log into your account and link the Stadia / Steam / PSN / Xbox Live account, and provided that player is also your friend on that service, you can press the Import Friends button for them to appear on the page.įrom there, they should appear in the Friends list in the Roster area of the menu.
(NOTE: At launch this feature has been disabled.)
How to add Bungie Friends with Destiny 2 crossplay If that results in something you don't like - it's possible that "if your name ends up empty or includes a moderated term, you will find the quite unremarkable "Guardian" name over your character's head" - then know that a Bungie Name change feature is being worked on to debut sometime in "winter" 2021. When this Bungie Name is generated, it'll filter out offensive terms and characters which cannot be entered via a virtual keyboard.
This is based on your display name on the first platform you log into from Season of the Lost, plus a four digit code, and will appear in system menus (so not in game), like so:
If you are in a Fireteam with at least one PC player, however, then you will enter the PC matchmaking pool. This means console players will face console players (including Stadia), and PC players will face PC players. How it works is - in competitive modes, Destiny 2 will keep players within the same PC or console ecosystem by default unless you are in a mixed Fireteam with a PC player. In terms of matchmaking, an early worry was whether console players will be up against those on PC who have a mouse and keyboard when it comes to matchmade activities such as Crucible and Gambit, especially as Bungie announced it was targeting "discrepancies" between PC and console weapons. This name - as well as how to add Bungie Friends - is explained in more detail in later sections of this page. This name is automatically given to you when you first log in during Season of the Lost, and is a backend identifier if friends want to add you on a different system.
