Destiny 2 update 3.3.0.1 patch notes: Voice chat changes, bug fixes and more

Destiny 2 is getting a new patch to allow for cross-platform voice chat, as well as some bug fixes for Bungie’s loot shooter.

Destiny 2’s Season of the Lost saw the return of Queen Mara and new reasons to go the Dreaming City, but it also introduced cross-platform play to the franchise for the first time (not including when Bungie accidentally enabled it in beta).

One glaring omission, though, has been cross-platform voice chat. Players have needed to rely on third-party applications like Discord to chat between PC, PlayStation, and Xbox – until now.

With update 3.3.0.1, Bungie has enabled voice chat across all platforms, which should make challenging raid encounters much easier to complete now that you can set out strategies with your Fireteam.

Other fixes include the end of the soft-lock in Astral Alignment which had previously stopped players progressing if someone left while holding an object, as well as nerfing Stasis crystals against players.
