Original Story:

At 10am PT/1pm ET, Bungie will be releasing a new Destiny update on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 that will require you to login again after returning to orbit.

“Pardon our dust! We are pushing a patch live today,” Bungie says on their website. “Players will be required to log in to Destiny again after returning to the title screen to install the patch. You should not be removed from any activities you are currently in.”

If you’re playing Destiny on PS4, system software 3.10 went live today, meaning you’ll have to wait until that download is finished before accessing the game.

We’re still waiting for full patch notes from Bungie, but we do know it will improve the underwhelming Nightfall Rewards:

Improvements to Nightfall rewards are coming [this] morning. To benefit this week, don’t play it until the patch deploys at around 10AM.

Judging from a recent tweet by Bungie, today’s update will just be a hot fix, rather than a full-blown patch.

With the King’s Fall Raid: Hard Mode going live later this week, Bungie posted a lengthy support page for people who played through the weekly events multiple times and stopped receiving rewards.
