Here are the important times for today:
- At 4 PM maintenance begins. You will not be able to log in.
- At 5 PM the servers will be shut down. If you are still in the game, you will be kicked out.
- Additionally, at 5 PM the preload of Curse of Osiris along with Update 1.1.0 begins. From then on, you can download and install the required game data. You need to download about 6 GB.
- Around 7 PM the work should be finished. Then the kick-off for Curse of Osiris will sound.
What do I need to know for the launch of Curse of Osiris?
Curse of Osiris is the first paid expansion for Destiny 2. If you only own the standard edition of the MMO shooter, you will need to spend additional money to play the new activities. These include new story missions, Mercury as a new planet, the Infinite Forest as a new PvE activity, a new raid area, heroic strikes, new weapons and armor pieces, and much more.
The Update 1.1.0, on the other hand, is free. It brings numerous changes to the endgame mechanics. A week later, on December 12th, the next free update will be released, which will bring further system changes.

These three additional things you need to know today:

- The complete patch notes will only be released tonight, after Update 1.1.0 is live. We will report on it.
- The weekly reset will now take place at 6 PM. That means, today at 10 AM, our weekly reset article will be skipped. We will do it tonight, as soon as the servers are live again. We will accompany the launch live.
