Destiny 2 has today, on October 15th, received update 2.6.0.4 for all platforms (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC). We summarize everything important regarding the maintenance work, the server downtime, and the patch notes for you.
Today, some new content from Shadowkeep and Season 8 will go live in Destiny 2. However, before you can dive into battle, there will also be a new update. The patch will be accompanied by maintenance work.
Update:
- 6:45 PM – The servers are offline as previously announced.
- 7:06 PM – Update 2.6.0.4 is now available for download. On PS4, it has version number 1.42 and is 139.5 MB in size.

Here are the important times today: According to the official tweet from Bungie Help, the maintenance will proceed as follows:
- 6:00 PM maintenance begins
- 6:45 PM the Destiny 2 servers are expected to go offline, players will be removed from all activities
- At 7:00 PM, just in time for the reset, the servers are expected to come back online and update 2.6.0.4 will become available
What is up with the discrepancies? On the official Bungie page for updates and server status, not only different times are listed, but also a different sequence for today’s update. It states:
- The maintenance starts at 7:00 PM
- No downtime is expected
- Update 2.6.0.4 is scheduled to roll out from 7:00 PM
- Maintenance is expected to end at 8:00 PM
