Destiny 2 Getting Planned Maintenance, But Destiny 1 Is Done On Updates

While Destiny 2 has been quite the party for fans over the past few weeks, there's going to be a point where Bungie has to temporarily turn the lights on to clean things up. In other words, maintenance.

The company has announced that the company will be taking the game offline for approximately four hours as they update the game with Patch 1.0.3.5. The maintenance will take place starting at 11 AM EDT, starting tomorrow morning (the 19th), and running through 3 PM EDT. So you'll have to do other things while you wait for those four hours to pass. Not the end of the world.

Here are all the specific updates:

• Destiny Companion: Sign-in functionality and other Destiny Companion services on the Mobile App, Bungie.net, and third-party sites may be restricted or unavailable during Destiny Server maintenance periods.
• BungieHelp Twitter: On days in which Destiny is receiving an Update or Server Maintenance, players can follow @BungieHelpon Twitter for updates on the process and timeline for the server maintenance or update deployment.
• Interrupting Downloads: Some consoles will attempt to verify all previously downloaded content before downloading a Destiny updates. If any issues are found, or the verification process is interrupted, all previous content will be deleted and downloaded once more. For more information, please see our Updating Destiny Guide.
• Connectivity Issues: Players encountering connectivity issues after maintenance has concluded, or that are unable to log in to Destiny when there is no planned maintenance impacting Destiny services, may need to attempt basic connectivity troubleshooting such as clearing their console cache, power cycling their network hardware, or reading through the Network Troubleshooting Guide.
• Update Availability:If the most recent update is not available for download, players may be required to fully turn off their console and sign in once more for the update to become available.
• Maintenance Notification: Players signed in shortly before maintenance will receive notice via in-game messaging that a maintenance will be starting soon.
• Error Code Sheep: Players may encounter the SHEEP error code when they attempt to join a Fireteam in which any member has not updated to the latest version of Destiny. To resolve this issue, please have all players close Destiny and install the latest update.
• Manually Checking for Updates: For consoles that are taking an abnormally long time to begin the update process, players can attempt to manually start the update process by using the consoles "Check for Update" option. Additionally, players may want to clear the console cache if their console still does not recognize an update is available. For more information, please see our Updating Destiny Guide
• Destiny 1 Legacy Support: Destiny 1 will no longer receive planned game updates or content. Destiny 1 content through Destiny: Rise of Iron Update 2.6.0.1 will continue to be available on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One Consoles. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 Legacy Consoles will continue to have Destiny: The Taken King content through Update 2.3.1 available. For more information, please see the Legacy Support Guide for Destiny 1.
• Update Notes: Full notes for each new update and for previous updates can be viewed on the Game Updates pages.
• Hard Drive Requirements: Players should ensure they have the proper amount of console storage space available to complete the full installation process. For more information, please see the Console Storage Space guide.
• Update Name: Some consoles may display a different name for the update than the one listed above.

However, it appears that the party is over for players of the original Destiny, as Bungie has made note that the game won't be receiving any more updates. Here's exactly what the company said:

"Destiny 1 will no longer receive planned game updates or content. Destiny 1 content through Destiny: Rise of Iron Update 2.6.0.1 will continue to be available on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One Consoles. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 Legacy Consoles will continue to have Destiny: The Taken King content through Update 2.3.1 available."

So there it is. It's the end of an era for Destiny, but at least Destiny 2 will keep on rockin'.

Destiny 2 is available now for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and releases on October 24th for PC.
