It’s almost time to get into the fight against The Witness in Destiny 2. If you were hoping to get some last-minute farming down, then I fear there is bad news, Guardian.

Destiny 2 is down for 25 hours from June 3 until June 4 as the developers roll out the full updates to the various servers. These big expansion updates are always huge, and a lot of time is needed to ensure server and build stability when going live.

When the servers come back up, players will be able to dive into The Final Shape, prepare for the upcoming Raid on June 7, and start the Echoes episode.

  • BungieHelp Twitter: On days in which Destiny is receiving an Update or Server Maintenance, players can follow @BungieHelp on Twitter for updates on the process and timeline for the server maintenance or update deployment.
  • Interrupting Downloads: Some consoles will attempt to verify all previously downloaded content before downloading a Destiny update. If any issues are found, or the verification process is interrupted, all previous content will be deleted and downloaded once more. For more information, please see the Updating Destiny Guide.
  • Error Code Cat: During maintenance windows, players may be returned to the title screen with Error Code CAT. These players should ensure they are taking the latest update before they resume playing.
