In Destiny 2, the servers are down today, on February 27. Bungie is performing maintenance, and update 1.1.3 is being deployed. Servers offline on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Today is the day, the update 1.1.3 is being released. This marks the next milestone on the Destiny 2 spring roadmap for 2018.
However, maintenance work is necessary beforehand. Destiny 2 will briefly go offline:
- At 5 PM our time, preparations for maintenance begin. You will not be able to log in. PS4, Xbox One, and PC are affected.
- At 6 PM the servers will be shut down. If you are still in the game now, you will be roughly kicked. From now on, update 1.1.3 should be available for download.
- Around 7 PM the servers will be back online. However, keep in mind that Bungie never strictly adheres to these time estimates.
