Destiny 2 Season 15 will add cross-play

[ad_1]

In a blog post This Week At Bungie, the studio provided information on cross-play between Xbox, PlayStation, PC and Stadia coming to Destiny 2 in season 15.

With Destiny 2 on so many platforms, you may be wondering what will happen to everyone’s name. Bungie will require all Destiny 2 players to create a “Bungie Name” which will remain the same across all platforms. These Bungie names will consist of the player’s Bungie name, display name and numeric ID.

Dimensions: 640 × 360 480 × 270

Now Playing: Destiny 2 – Official Splicer Season Trailer

To make it easier for console friends to find other players, Bungie will reduce the number of characters used in a Bungie name. They explained how some player names on Steam with extended character sets will not be available. Additionally, all names will be moderated and filtered to avoid offensive terms. “It is possible that due to the removal of these characters, players will end up with empty names or with names that are offensive,” explained Bungie. Unfortunately, if players are stuck with a blank or offensive name, they won’t be able to change it upon launch and will have to wait a couple of months. Basically, think three times before creating your Bungie name.

Along with a Bungie name, players will have a list called Bungie Friends which will have all friends on one list. Players can also filter their list by platforms. You can even team up with cross-platform clan members. To add friends to Bungie Friends, players will need to search for their friends on their preferred platform and send friend requests. Another way is to search for friends via the Invite screen. Finally, players can use Bungie’s friend finder site, which will launch when cross-play is available, to link their platforms and send friend requests to Bungie. For Fireteam requests, players can open the Roster tab in their menu and search for the players they want to team up with.

Another thing to keep in mind is that voice chat will not be available between platforms when cross-play is launched, but Bungie suggests that it will be fixed in an update after launch. Gamers will have to wait until winter for console text chat and text input with keyboards.

Bungie is aware of targeted harassment in the community. To keep the community safe, players will be able to block other players and access privacy settings via the Roster menu.

Bungie also answered a question that many fans have been asking: How will competitive PvP modes work? For matchmaking initially, PC players will only pair with other PC players and console players will pair with other console and Stadia players. If there is a cross-platform Fireteam that includes a PC player, that Fireteam will be placed in the PC matchmaking pool.

Season 14 will end on August 24th. Bungie’s The Witch Queen expansion will also arrive on August 24th.
