Finally, you'll be able to play PvP matches with your friends
AGAINST your friends. At Gamecom, Bungie announced that privated PvP matches were finally coming to Destiny with the
Rise of Iron expansion. Before, players could link up with friends and "join their game" but that meant that they only had the option of playing PvP matches on the same team as their friends, where they would play against random gamers.
Now, you'll be able to have private Crucible matches where every single player is someone you know. In addition, this feature will be available to all PS4 and Xbox One owners, regardless of whether they own Rise of Iron or not.
For additional details, check out the below video from VG247's resident Destiny expert and YouTube personality, Arekkz.

The wall which stood for centuries along the southern border of Old Russia has collapsed, a battle-scorched reminder that our enemies still seek to destroy us all. Fallen mutants now scavenge the tombs of the Golden Age, and the plague they have unearthed in the wastes is more dangerous than even they understand. Join Lord Saladin. Journey into the Plaguelands. Learn the fate of the Iron Lords and stop the growing threat before it is too late.
