Bungie accidentally turns Destiny 2 crossplay on early BungieBungie accidentally turned Destiny 2 crossplay on a little early \u2014 Guardians quickly discovered they could already console-hop in the Season of the Splicer, months before the popular feature was actually meant to go live. Usually, when Bungie gets something wrong behind the scenes, it means hours of loading screens, \u201cHoneydew\u201d errors, or features simply not working. This time around, however, the wrong Destiny 2 switch being flicked has been a bank error in our favor; the flagship looter\u2019s highly-anticipated crossplay feature was accidentally set live on Tuesday. Since the launch of the Season of the Splicer, excited Guardians on Xbox and PC were able to load into Strikes, Crucibles, and matchmade lobbies together. So far, there has been no confirmation PlayStation players could also join in on the fun, so it appeared to be limited to Microsoft consoles only. Considering crossplay was originally penned in to drop a little over three months, in mid-Season 15, it was a very, very early arrival for the popular feature. This technical fluke was, of course, welcomed with open arms by Guardians, but don\u2019t Bungie warned it wouldn\u2019t be around for long On Tuesday night, lead community manager Chris \u201cCozmo\u201d Shannon confirmed Bungie was well aware of the crossplay \u201csneak peek,\u201d and was already hard at work rolling it back to a non-live state. He did go on to encourage Guardians to take advantage of the early access while they can, however. \u201cWe are seeing reports some Destiny 2 players are able to get a \u2018sneak peek\u2019 at crossplay,\u201d the Bungie mouthpiece tweeted on May 12. \u201cThis isn\u2019t meant to be live yet and is not representative of the full experience,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe will be implementing a fix to remove public access later this week, but in the meantime feel free to partake.\u201d Dexerto tested the feature at the time and confirmed that it worked a treat. Before long, however, it was soon disabled late on Thursday, May 13. Hotfix 3.2.0.0 quickly removed the feature before Guardians got too carried away. Unfortunately, with the exception of a lucky few this week, the wait for Destiny 2 crossplay is set to stretch on for at least the next few months. Bungie has previously confirmed crossplay will go live around Q4 of this year. Before we get the full feature, Destiny 2 devs will also get access to \u201cinternational rollouts and alpha tests,\u201d before several beta runs are hosted during late Season 14 for select Guardians. \u201cThis should help for a smooth landing when Destiny 2 crossplay \u201c[launches] this fall,\u201d game director Joe Blackburn explained back in February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
