When games like\u00a0Fortnite<\/em> and\u00a0Call of Duty<\/em> started implementing crossplay across the board, it soon became a reality that crossplay itself was far more attainable than previously thought. Many like to point out Sony’s reluctance as one of the sole obstacles to crossplay, but all gaming platforms have been strictly insular for a lot longer. Even when online gaming became much more prevalent and ubiquitous, crossplay as a concept rarely came up in conversation. Nowadays, it’s almost becoming an expectation for any major triple-A game to launch with crossplay.\u00a0At some point in 2021,\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0joins the list of crossplay titles after many have asked for it.<\/p>\n

Crossplay’s been in the conversation for\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em><\/a> for a long time, but it wasn’t until this year where the possibility became a reality. As numerous other games are receiving near-universal crossplay across platforms,\u00a0many have been wondering when guardians will be able to play together. While Bungie had previously stated they intended to work towards crossplay for 2021, the studio has now confirmed crossplay will be officially coming to the game next year. Players who’ve dabbled in\u00a0Destiny<\/em> before likely thought this was a predictable improvement, but for\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em>‘s hardcore fans, this is a much more impactful and sought after change for the community.<\/p>\n

Being the unique live-service, MMO-style game that it is,\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em>‘s biggest draw is its tight-knit community of guardians. Even amongst criticisms of the Destiny<\/em> Content Vault<\/a>, or\u00a0any pervasive balance issues in PvP,\u00a0Destiny<\/em> fans remain loyal to the game they love.\u00a0Bungie, as well as the\u00a0Destiny\u00a0<\/em>fanbase, has worked hard to cultivate a diverse and engaging\u00a0community of players. Whether it’s as simple as encouraging a group of guardians to form a Raid fireteam or a clan together, or raising thousands for charity through sponsored in-game items and fundraisers, Bungie and\u00a0Destiny<\/em>‘s community brings its players together.<\/p>\n

Unity and camaraderie are defining attributes for the majority of\u00a0Destiny<\/em>‘s community<\/a>. Crossplay is only going to improve that aspect, bringing guardians from various consoles and PCs together after too long of a time without crossplay. Much like many other games before it,\u00a0segmenting\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em>‘s community between PS4, Xbox One, and PC was an unfortunate limitation that divided players. Especially for an MMO, where player and platform diversity levels tend to be higher than other games, getting crossplay will only benefit the\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em> experience over time.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

While many PS4 and Xbox One players will be happy to play\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em> with each other (as well as PC players), Stadia is the clear winner here. There is a comparatively small, but just as dedicated,\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em> community playing from Google’s streaming platform<\/a> that’s finally going to join the rest of the\u00a0Destiny\u00a0<\/em>playerbase. Not to mention opening up the possibility of more\u00a0Destiny<\/em> players utilizing cross-save and cross-progression on Stadia, once they can play with other platforms. Plus, existing players may even consider jumping on to the Stadia version occasionally, thanks to the platform’s unique portability and convenience factor.<\/p>\n

Google Stadia has had its fair share of problems, but it’s often overlooked how many active players are still consistently playing the platform. Especially in\u00a0Destiny<\/em>\u00a02<\/em>‘s case, where consoles and even moreso PC are considered the definitive places to play the game. The Stadia version of\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em> is still a very important part of the game’s community, and for Bungie itself. As early as January of this year, it was reported that\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em>‘s playerbase on Stadia was struggling<\/a>, but crossplay helps address that problem concisely. Regardless of whether or not crossplay boosts Stadia’s playerbase, those who enjoy playing\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em> on Stadia will benefit greatly from crossplay.<\/p>\n

Obviously, a few things come to mind as potential growing pains for\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em>‘s crossplay, despite all the good it will do for the community. Cheating has been a common concern among Destiny 2<\/em>‘s\u00a0PC community<\/a>, with aimbots and other software being readily available to download and install. Console players used to never have that problem because of how insular console gaming typically is. Modding and cheating on console still happens to a much lesser extent, but with crossplay, it could become a much more prominent issue.<\/p>\n

However, when an existing problem that Bungie’s been dealing with already<\/a> is the only downside to crossplay, then it’s till a pretty big\u00a0win for\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em>. Finally bridging the gap between all platforms for\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em>\u00a0is only going to bode well for the game’s community. Especially now, as players are deciding which next-gen console they may want to snag or if they’re moving on to PC gaming, crossplay couldn’t have come at a better time for\u00a0Destiny 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Destiny 2<\/em><\/strong> is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X\/S.<\/p>\n
