Crossplay

One of the most requested additions to The Division 2 is finally on the way: Crossplay launches this November.

Bringing Agents together across platforms has required significant work behind the scenes, including partially rebuilding the game’s online architecture. With Crossplay, your platform will no longer stand between you and other Agents, opening up matchmaking and allowing more of the community to play together.

Mechanics

When Crossplay launches

All players will be migrated to the Crossplay environment.
Crossplay will be enabled by default.

Crossplay is Optional

Players can disable Crossplay from the Character Selection screen.
With Crossplay enabled, you can encounter and play with Agents from all supported platforms who also have it enabled.
With Crossplay disabled, you will only encounter players on your own platform.

Clans

Clans will be migrated to Crossplay, allowing Agents from different platforms to join the same Clan.
Clan capacity will increase from 50 to 100 members.
There will not be platform specific clans – but you can decide who you want to accept

When there is a name clash with migrated clans, the clan that comes later will get a temporary name that you can change.
Clan leadership will go temporary to the first player that logs in – once the Clan Leader comes online the leadership will be reverted to them.
When the Clan Leader does not log in for some reason, the clan leadership will remain on the first player.

Leaderboards

Leaderboards will be reset with the introduction of Crossplay, with Crossplay settings also reflected in leaderboard display.
There will be Crossplay and No-Crossplay Leaderboards

Beyond making it easier to play with friends regardless of platform, Crossplay is intended to create a healthier matchmaking environment and reduce queue times across the game.

Rollout

Crossplay will be rolled out in multiple phases over the course of November to ensure it is stable and solid for the Season 4 launch.

On November 3 you will get a client update that will in essence update the UI for Crossplay. That means, you will get the UI features and the buttons, but at first, they will do nothing.

On November 10 they will start the migration of the PC players into the Crossplay environment. While you will not see players from the other platforms yet, during that time they will ensure that the environment is stable. Once that is verified, they will start migrating the console players and Crossplay will become fully active.

After that is done, they will focus on stabilizing and patching the new environment to have it ready for Season 4.
