While Bungie usually conducts server maintenance periods on a Tuesday, it usually lasts for an hour or two at most. This time, that won’t be the case, as the developers have confirmed the Destiny 2 server maintenance planned for February 24 will take longer than normal.

If you or a friend can’t login, this is why, so don’t get alarmed. Expect Destiny 2 to be down for a lot longer today.
