Destiny’s latest update is giving gamers new social features, adjustments to activities and more.
Bungie gave players a run down of the latest 1.0.3 patch just weeks away from the Dark Below expansion release on Dec. 9 on their official blog. One of the social features added allows teams to be able to communicate through chat channels (click here for more info.)
