Original Story:
We don’t know if it’s because a new update is rolling out soon, or if Bungie is just doing general upkeep, but Destiny will be offline today for about three hours.
On their website, Bungie says players will be unable to log into Destiny beginning at 8am PT/11am ET/4pm UTC, with players being removed from activities at 9am PT/12pm ET/5pm UTC as the servers go offline for maintenance.
They expect the maintenance to conclude around 11am PT/2pm ET/7pm UTC.
Here’s what else you need to know about the maintenance:
- Bungie.net sign-in and Companion app services may be restricted during this time.
- Players signed in shortly before maintenance will receive prior notice via in-game messaging.
- Once maintenance is concluded, all services and Destiny login functionality will be restored.
They also revealed today’s Daily Heroic is Lost to Light.
Yesterday, Bungie also updated the Destiny Companion App. Here’s all the patch notes:
