Destiny 2 has now been available on PC for quite some time and has garnered a decent following on our favourite gaming platform. Naturally, this means that the developers must dedicate a fair bit of time to maintaining the port properly.
The latest in a line of patches, 1. 2. 3, to be exact, comes packed to the brim with new content, fixes, revamps, and alterations. The majority of general, cross-platform patch notes refer to item availability, changes to bounties, a number of pretty major quality-of-life changes, such as inventory modifications and the issue of Momentum, and then there's some nuance added to how Strikes work, there are updates for Exotic armour sets, general weapon changes, and more. Complete patch notes are available on the game's website.
Destiny 2: Update 1.2.3 - PC-specific changes
If you're a regular at Game Watcher, you will most certainly be most interested in what the PC-specific changes are. While not particularly exhaustive, the list is following:
- Clan Chat: Adds a new in-game text chat channel that allows online Destiny 2 clan members to communicate (in real time). This chat channel is separate from the companion clan chat channel.
- Scrolling area reduced to the edges of the game window.
- Cursor is now restricted to game window when a map is active (mouse capture).
- Edge scrolling now freezes when game window loses focus.
- Fixed an issue which caused bluetooth headphones to not play sound properly on some PC configurations. For more info, please see the Vital Information section of our Destiny Audio Guide.

The update includes some new stuff for the Crucible as well, along with Private Match bug fixes and some beta functionality, should you choose to opt into giving it a shot.
