New Destiny 2 Update Released for January 31, Patch Notes Revealed

By Logan Moore

Destiny 2 developer Bungie has today released a new update for its mega-popular online shooter. Currently, most Destiny 2 fans continue to wait for the release of the game's next major expansion, Lightfall, and the start of Season 20 which will kick off in late February. Prior to that launch, though, a new patch for the game has now become available that makes a handful of small changes.

As we've come to expect with Destiny 2, today's new update is merely a hotfix for the game, which means much of what it does is simply rectify existing bugs and other problems. So while there aren't many wholly new additions to Destiny 2 with hotfix 6.3.0.7, the overall experience should now become much improved when it comes to the Iron Banner and Crucible aspects of the title. Additionally, some small tweaks have also been made to certain weapons and bounties in the game as well. 

If you'd like to see these full patch notes for today's Destiny 2 update, you can find them below.
