Destiny 2 Fans Locked Out Amid Final Shape Server Chaos

Jun 04, 2024 7:19 PM

Destiny 2: The Final Shape faced severe server issues on its launch day, leaving many players staring at error messages and facing long queue times. Despite the server overload, this is a familiar scenario for players during major expansions. The high turnout, with over 200,000 players trying to connect simultaneously on Steam, significantly strained the servers. Bungie suggests restarting the game, console, or launcher to mitigate the issue. This expansion concludes the "Darkness and Light Saga" but hints at future episodic content and possibly Destiny 3.

What can players do if they encounter server issues in Destiny 2: The Final Shape?

Players experiencing sign-on issues are recommended to restart their game, console, or launcher to try and alleviate these issues.

Destiny 2, developed by Bungie, originally launched in September 2017. It has undergone numerous expansions and updates, constantly evolving the gameplay and narrative. The Final Shape marks the end of a significant 10-year narrative arc, setting the stage for Bungie's future plans for the Destiny universe.

Ah, launch day chaos for Destiny 2: The Final Shape—nothing quite says big expansion like server overloads and error messages. Props to Bungie for wrapping up a decade-long saga, but hopefully their servers level up for the next big drop 🕹️🚀

Looks like Destiny 2's latest expansion was so hyped, it practically broke the internet Though server issues are annoying, it's kinda comforting to see that the community is still super passionate about the game after all these years.

Looks like the good old server stampede hit Destiny 2 again, a classic launch day tradition. But hey, at least it shows how hyped everyone is for The Final Shape; fingers crossed Bungie smooths things out soon
