[UPDATE:Destiny 2servers are back online following the implementation ofPatch 1.0.3. The original story continues below.]
ManyDestiny 2console players have flown through the first 20 levels and are now concentrating on getting raid ready and finding all the best gear (and hopefullysome cool shaders too). Players should prepare to take a quick break and stretch their legs this morning during a planned maintenance window.
This morning’sDestiny 2downtime should only impact server availability for about six hours. During that time, the developers will roll out update 1.0.3. The following timeline, provided by Bungie, breaks down when players can expect to get booted this morning…
“Destiny 2Update 1.0 .3: Server Maintenance and Downtime
Destiny 2will be taken offline on Monday September 25 for server maintenance. Players will be required to download and installDestiny 2Update 1.0.3 upon maintenance completion.
6 AM PDT (2 PM UTC): Players will no longer be able to sign in toDestiny 2.
7 AM PDT (3 PM UTC): All online players will be removed fromDestiny
12 PM PDT (10 PM UTC): Expected maintenance conclusion,Destiny 2Update 1.0.3 available.”
If the maintenance goes according to plan, hopefully most players will either be at work or school during the downtime and won’t lose out on precious game time. So far Bungie has done a pretty impressive job at maintaining server stability forDestiny 2, so players have had limited interuptions during these first few weeks of game time.
If anything goes wrong and the downtime gets extended, we’ll post an update here. Good luck out there, Guardians.
Destiny 2is out now for PS4 and Xbox One. The PC version releases on October 24th.
