Bungie given Destiny 2 players a big update on the developer’s plans for the rest of 2021, as well as a look at 2022. There are big campaigns and additions coming up, but one of the biggest announcements is the addition of crossword puzzles between Windows PC and console players.
Crossplay comes to the masses in season 15. We will be doing some internal implementations and alpha tests in season 14 to prepare for a widespread launch this fall. With Crossplay, you can play with all your friends, no matter what platform you call home. And do not worry, we do not fit console and computer players together in the Crucible unless PC players specifically invite their console friends to play with them in the PC Crucible pools.
Previously, computer gamers were locked to playing only with computer gamers, and console gamers were in the same boat. In PvP games and first-person shooters, the keyboard and mouse controls are considered a bit more precisely, which is an advantage in PvP modes like the Crucible. Fortunately, the raids and collaborative parts of the game do not have the same limitations.
This update should offer the best of both worlds. If console players want to enter the crucible against the PC players, they can do so by playing with PC friends. Otherwise everyone can play together, which should make Destiny 2 a much easier social experience to share.
Crossroads is planned for the fall of 2021, but Bungie will test the feature throughout season 14 with internal tests and alpha tests. More details about these tests will appear in the future, but for the time being it is promising to know. Destiny 2 players will eventually gather for a good old-fashioned raid.
