Maintenance on November 10 – Everything about the process and server downtime
Here are the important times: This time the times are not as clear as usual. You are facing basically 2 updates, a live event, and a long server downtime (14 hours) before you can kick off Beyond Light tomorrow with the reset:
- At 00:30 the maintenance works will start on all platforms in the background
- At 01:00 all players will be kicked and need to load a small update
- You can log in again directly after the mini-update
- At 3:50 the login to the Destiny servers will be stopped
- At 04:00 the Destiny servers will go offline
- At 18:00 the servers will be back online. The update 3.0.0.1 will then be rolled out worldwide
- As soon as the update is downloaded (and copied), you can start playing Destiny 2 again and launch the expansion Beyond Light
- After the unscheduled extension, the maintenance will end at 01:00 at night on October 11th
The mini-update in the middle of the night on November 10 has kicked off the finale of Season 11. If you missed it, MeinMMO has the overview here:
Is there a preload for Beyond Light? Yes! Bungie has already confirmed that you can download the necessary update 3.0.0.1 ahead of time on all platforms. This is also badly needed, as the update is 60-70 GB depending on the platform.
Guardians on PS4 have even been able to start the download since the early morning hours of November 9. The update carries the version number 2.02.
- You can find more information about this here: Preload for Destiny 2 Beyond Light on PS4 has started – What about Xbox & PC?
- Until the maintenance has completely gone through, there may be queues when logging in or connection problems.
- As always: Third-party applications and the official companion app are also not always reachable without errors.
