Destiny 2 crossplay guide: All platforms, how does it work, and more

Alongside the launch of Season of the Lost, Bungie finally introduced the long-requested crossplay feature in Destiny 2. At first, it was only available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows, but it was later introduced to Stadia and the newer generations of consoles.

This renowned MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) was available on various platforms, but those on different platforms couldn't play with one another because of the absence of crossplay. However, players can now use this feature to form fireteams and play with others across all supported platforms.

Whether you're a newbie or a returning player looking to play the game with friends on other platforms, this article is for you.

In competitive Destiny 2 matchmaking activities like Crucible and Gambit, players will meet other gamers on the same platforms by default. However, if you team up with a PC player, it'll put you in the PC matchmaking pool.

When Season 15 launched, every Guardian had to set a new Bungie name in the game. This works as a universal name that Guardians can use to send friend requests.

To play with a friend on a different platform, follow these steps:

• To play with a friend one a different platform, you must first add them as a Bungie Friend.
• Once you get their Bungie name, launch the game.
• Select Open Director.
• Go to the Roster screen at the top of the Director screen.
• Select the Manage Invites icon.
• Go to the search bar at the top of the page and type in the Bungie name you want to add.

This is how you can send a friend request using a friend's Bungie name. However, it is important to note that you can only have a maximum of 200 Bungie Friends at a time.
