While Bungie has said that content support for Destiny 2 is over, that doesn’t mean they’ll stop working on the game completely.

Today, Bungie has taken the Destiny 2 servers down on October 20 across all platforms, and this is to bring patch 9.7.0.6.

It's been almost 10 years since Star Wars Battlefront 2 was released on consoles and PC, but could we be getting another entry in the franchise in the future? The latest from the rumor mill points to that, and it could be from a familiar studio too, which could mean good news for some, bad news for those who want someone new to take the reins.

This is a lengthy maintenance period compared to the past, so allocate your time accordingly.

Expect a round of fixes to be applied, though don’t expect anything major, as the game is essentially done in its state.

The good news is, Bungie has promised new stories and games in the Destiny franchise, so there’s a lot more Destiny in our future.

Vehicle chases are often a big part of any Grand Theft Auto game, and if you find it easy to drive around pedestrians and other vehicles in GTA 5, that will prove to be harder in GTA 6.
