Destiny 2 crossplay has been a long and awaited feature that many players requested. The good news is, Destiny 2 is cross platform, meaning you and your friends can play regardless if they are on Playstation, Xbox, PC, or even Stadia.

Destiny 2 works through the Bungie Name system, which is what players use to identify each other across platforms. When it comes to matchmaking competitively, Destiny 2 keeps PC and console players in their own sections, unless you are in a mixed lobby with friends from PC and console.

How To Add A Friend On Destiny 2 Crossplay

If you’re wondering how to add a friend on Destiny 2’s crossplay, all you need to do is find out their Bungie username. It does not matter what their, Steam, Stadia, Xbox Gamertag, or PSN name is. Whenever you make a Destiny 2 account, all your progress between your platform’s account and your Bungie account get linked. You can invite the Bungie account holder to your game, or add them as a friend in your roster menu.

How To Disable Destiny 2 Crossplay

One of the notable weaknesses of crossplay is that console gamers naturally have a disadvantage against PC players in FPS games. If you find that you despise playing with or against PC players, both Xbox and Playstation users can turn off crossplay if they wish. Do be aware that Bungie considers the Stadia as a console, so you may technically find you will encounter some PC players via the Stadia option.
