Destiny 2 The Edge of Fate Server Maintenance and Downtime Explored

Ahead of Destiny 2 The Edge of Fate going live, there’s going to be a prolonged server downtime while Bungie will conduct server maintenance.

During this time, the game won’t be available for players, and you will have to wait for the downtime to end before you can access the game and explore Kepler during the Year of Prophecy.

With that said, here’s everything you need to know about Destiny 2 The Edge of Fate server maintenance and downtime.

Destiny 2 The Edge of Fate Server Downtime Schedule

Destiny 2 The Edge of Fate server downtime schedule is as follows for the different regions across the globe:

• 10 am PDT (West Coast US)
• 1 pm EDT (East Coast US)
• 6 pm BST (UK)
• 7 pm CEST (Europe)
• 3 am AEST, July 16 (Australia)

The downtime is expected to last for approximately four hours before the servers become functional again. However, expect to run into some major error codes like cat, weasel, and guitar because that’s been a trend with every major release.

Why Can’t I Play Destiny 2?

If you cannot play Destiny 2, chances are that you’re trying to play it during the maintenance window. If that is the case, wait till the server downtime concludes before trying to log into the game again.

However, if you’re sure that the downtime has ended and you’re still unable to play the game, there’s a chance that the servers are experiencing a bottleneck. In such cases, it’s best to do nothing and wait on the queue screen.

Alternatively, you can wait for the time being and then try to login later again, once the main traffic load is over.

Can You Preload Destiny 2 The Edge of Fate?

Yes, you can preload Destiny 2 The Edge of Fate on your device, 15 minutes after the downtime has begun. However, remember, to preload, you need to have a lot of disk space available. Here are the recommended specifications, based on which storefront you’re downloading it from:
