Destiny 2 now has crossplay! Here's how to use it.

With crossplay, the Tower in Stadia will feel a lot busier.

Playing Destiny on Stadia was one of the things that first excited me about the platform. Being able to get a fireteam together and play some strikes on the go was incredibly appealing. Unfortunately, it never really worked as well as I hoped because most of my friends weren't using Stadia. That all changed with the new Season of the Lost as Bungie introduced full crossplay to Destiny 2. Now you can play with anyone on PC, Stadia, Playstation, and Xbox.

If you're excited to enjoy one of the best Stadia games with your friends on other platforms but aren't sure how to use the new crossplay system, don't worry. We're here to help with a quick guide that will explain everything you need to know about using Destiny 2 crossplay.

How to add friends for crossplay in-game

Here's how you can add friends (and how friends can add you) for crossplay while in Destiny 2. This way doesn't always work correctly, but Bungie is aware of the issue and is working to correct it.

  1. Launch Destiny 2 and keep a note of your Bungie Name — that's your normal gamer tag and the added numbers displayed — above your character emblems.

  2. Share it with your friends and have them share theirs with you, as you're going to need these. For example, my Bungie Name is keridel#6111.

  3. While in Orbit, select Open Director.

  4. Select Roster at the top of the Director screen.

  5. Select the Manage Invites icon on the left side of the screen. It's shaped like an envelope.

  6. Choose a Bungie name from the lists. Eventually, there should be a search option, but not yet.

  7. Select Send Bungie friend request when their profile appears.
  8. If your friends have sent you a friend request, you can accept it by selecting Accept Friend Request in the Bungie Friend Requests section of this menu.

As soon as everyone has accepted, you should be able to add them all to a fireteam and get playing.

How to add friends for crossplay on Bungie.net

The in-game method can be a little janky, so Bungie has another way to get it working using Bungie.net. To get your existing friends from other platforms, you can follow this short guide.

  1. Sign in to Bungie.net/friends by selecting the platform you play on in the center of the page.

  2. Click on the import friends button in the center of the screen to pull in all your friends from assorted platforms. You'll need to sign in to each platform to get your friends list.

  3. Tap Send Request to add your friends from other platforms.

There is a slightly different way if you are looking to add a specific person who may not already be on your list.

  1. At the top right of the page, select the search bar icon. It looks like a magnifying glass.
  2. In the search bar, type in the Bungie Name of a friend you want to add.

  3. Select your friend's profile.

  4. On the left side of your friend's profile, select Send Friend Request.

  5. To accept a friend request, go the Bungie Friends tab of your Account page.

  6. Under the Pending tab, select Accept next to requests your friends have sent you.

Once this process has been finished, you and your friends will be able to play together.

Apple and Meta Reportedly Discussed AI Partnership for iOS 18

Apple has held discussions with Meta about integrating the Facebook owner's AI model into iOS 18 as part of its Apple Intelligence feature set, according to a report over the weekend. Meta launched Llama 2, its large language model, in July 2023, and in April, the company released the latest versions of its AI models, called Llama 3 . The Wall Street Journal reports that the two longtime rivals have held talks about offering Meta's model as an additional option to OpenAI's ChatGPT. The paywalled report notes that the discussions haven't been finalized and could fall through. As part of Apple Intelligence, Apple has announced a partnership with OpenAI that will allow Siri to access ChatGPT directly in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia to provide better responses in relevant situations. Using ChatGPT will be optional, so users with concerns about the technology can abstain and still make use of Apple's own new AI features. Speaking at WWDC 2024, Apple's

Here Are the macOS Sequoia Features Intel Macs Won't Support

When Apple released macOS Monterey in 2021, some key features required a Mac with Apple silicon. The same scenario played out with macOS Ventura in 2022, and then again the following year with the release of macOS Sonoma. With macOS Sequoia set to arrive in the fall, which new features can Intel Mac owners expect to be unavailable to them this time around? Apple says that macOS Sequoia is compatible with the same Macs as macOS Sonoma, but Apple's fine print reveals that certain new features won't work on Intel machines. If you're still on an Intel Mac, here's what you won't have access to. Apple Intelligence Apple Intelligence , a deeply integrated, personalized AI feature set for Apple devices that uses cutting-edge generative artificial intelligence to enhance the user experience, won't be available on Intel Macs. Apple says the advanced features require its M1 chip or later, so if your Mac was released before November 2020, you're out of luck. T

iPhone 16 Pro Models to Adopt 'M14' Advanced Samsung OLED Panels for Improved Brightness and Lifespan

The upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be the first Apple smartphones to adopt Samsung's high performance "M14" OLED display panel, claims a new report coming out of South Korea. According to ETNews , Samsung's "M" series of OLED panels are made for flagship smartphones, while "14" refers to the number of high-performance materials used to produce them. "M14" is the first series of its kind, and the panel is said to have been developed to deliver superior brightness and longevity. Samsung has reportedly placed orders for the M14 materials and is preparing to mass produce the displays in the second half of the year for Apple's iPhone 16 Pro models. Google's Pixel 9 smartphone is the only other device that is expected to adopt the high-performance displays in 2024. A previous report out of China claimed that this year's ‌iPhone 16 Pro‌ models will feature up to 1,200 nits of typical SDR brightness – a 20%

Apple Boosts A18 Chip Orders in Anticipation of High iPhone 16 Demand

Apple is said to have upped its order of next-generation chips from TSMC to between 90 million and 100 million units, following heightened demand expectations for its iPhone 16 series. Last year's initial chip order volume for the iPhone 15 series launch is believed to have been in the region of 80-90 million units, suggesting Apple is anticipating higher demand for its 2024 devices, according to Taiwanese outlet CTEE . The arrival of Apple Intelligence in iOS 18 is expected to boost initial sales of the devices. One of the reasons is that Apple Intelligence requires at least an iPhone 15 Pro to run, which means owners of last year's iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will miss out on Apple's new AI features unless they upgrade to an iPhone 15 Pro or plump for one of the iPhone 16 models. Last year, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus were equipped with the A16 Bionic chip – the same chip that was in the iPhone 14 Pro models – whereas the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max f
