Destiny 2 Update 3.3.0.1 Patch Notes Revealed, Adding Cross-Platform Voice Chat

Bungie revealed the patch notes for Destiny 2‘s Update 3.3.0.1 today, which is the first update following the launch of Season of the Lost. While most of the update is dedicated to bug fixes and tweaks, it also enables cross-platform voice chat for Destiny 2’s recently added cross-play functionality.

In general, the hotfix smooths out some of the issues that have cropped up since the launch of the new season. For example, it fixes an issue where the Astral Alignment activity could soft-lock upon destruction of all Ether Wisps, or when players quit while holding objects.

In addition, the update tweaks a handful of problems with weapons and armor. It solves an issue where Stasis crystals were doing more detonation damage against players than intended, which could conceivably feel like a small nerf against Stasis abilities.

The most high-profile improvement in the update is cross-platform voice chat. Season of the Lost introduced cross-play in Destiny 2 for the first time, meaning that players can now join games with others on any platform. This hotfix now allows players to actually talk with those players. However, Bungie notes that voice chat on Xbox still has some issues to iron out; specifically, Xbox privacy settings and mute lists are currently not functioning as intended within Destiny 2.

You can see the full list of Destiny 2 Update 3.3.0.1 patch notes below. Season of the Lost focuses on the Hive god Savathun, and its Astral Alignment activity tasks you with protecting the Dreaming City’s Blind Well.
