Every so often, Destiny 2 servers go down in order to perform scheduled maintenance or implement updates into the game. Here’s everything you need to know to know about the Destiny 2 server status.

Destiny 2 is a live-service game, with three-month seasons that contain new story elements and activities. Now that we’re at the end of Season of Plunder, Season 19 is on the horizon and arriving at Weekly Reset.

Server downtime is expected, though, as Bungie prepares for the final season of the year before Lightfall arrives in February and rolls out another huge patch in update 6.3.0.

Lucky for you, we’ve simplified the process of finding out the Destiny 2 server status as well as when, why, and for how long the game will be offline.
