There is no denying that Destiny 2 is one of the biggest games in the world, as the first-person shooter has plenty of Guardians still playing. With the release of The Final Shape, the servers might become unstable as the devs work on fixes and prepare for the launch of the Salvation’s Edge raid.
On that note, here are some resources you can utilize to check whether or not the Destiny 2 servers are down.
BungieAre Destiny 2 servers down?
At the time of writing on June 6, the Destiny 2 servers are on, but they had scheduled maintenance as the devs prepared for the release of the Salvation’s Edge Raid.
Maintenance lasted from 5:30 AM PT / 13:30 PM ET / 12:30 AM BST to 9 AM PT/ 15:30 PM BST/ 14:30 PM BST. However, players might still experience some connectivity issues.
When large updates are happening for the game, Bungie will take the game offline to successfully apply the update, so it is expected that players will have some trouble connecting when expansions or new seasons launch.
