Is Destiny 2 down? If you can’t access your character or log on to Destiny 2, it’s possible Bungie’s servers are having a bit of downtime or have run into a problem. To stop yourself from troubleshooting your own network, you should first check the server status of the shooter. Scheduled maintenance times can be found below.

If you’re having issues, you might wonder what’s going on with the Destiny 2 server status, or how long before the servers come back up. Or maybe you’re experiencing a number of unusual disconnects or other problems you can’t seem to solve, if so, you can always check out the Bungie forums, where fellow Guardians and Bungie staff will help you sort through your issues.

When he's not writing guides at PCGamesN, PK is usually found waiting for the respawn timer in League of Legends, hanging around a tavern in Baldur's Gate 3, or fighting his way through the Settled Systems in Starfield. PK's extensive knowledge of video games is matched only by his extensive wardrobe of flannel shirts, which he has been curating since he was born, proving he was always meant to be a games journalist. He watches an episode of Star Trek every night before bed, and he loves toast, even though it makes him feel a bit sick. Buttery goodness exacts a heavy toll, one that he's willing to pay.
