Cross-play is a feature that most multiplayer games should be offering these days. Seriously, this is a no brainer as it can make a huge difference in your multiplayer experience. And while Bungie is currently looking into adding such a feature in Destiny 2, it cannot make any promises.
As Bungie’s communications director David ‘Deej’ Dague told VGC, the team is keen to explore anything that would bring players together so that they can share their experiences.
“While we don’t have any promises to make about new features that will come online in the future, I can assure you that there is always a lively conversation at Bungie – as there was for years before we arrived at even cross-save – about things that we could do that would be good for players, and that we want to find the time and resources to invest in and bring to fruition.”
The most obvious challenge of adding cross-play support is the allocation of resources. Bungie will have to take into great consideration the extra amount of hours this feature will require.
Dague concluded:
“We make guided decisions as to where we want to invest our time: what sort of features do we think will be most useful to players? What things can we do to evolve the world of the game to keep people engaged and entertained?”
Realistically speaking, things are not looking that great at the moment. Still, let’s hope that Bungie will surprise us and add cross-play to its looter shooter.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
