The new Destiny 2 update is now live to download on PS4 and Xbox One, following a shorter than first reported server down time period.
Patch 1.0.3.1 focuses on a lot of post-launch housekeeping, providing fixes for a range of endgame activities and core gameplay features.
Bungie have also warned that some consoles may display a different name for the update than the one listed above.
Destiny 2 servers queues may also spring up after the update, during periods of high traffic, players may encounter these more often.
Unlike in the past, this latest Destiny 2 patch has been launched after the Weekly Reset, meaning that there should a little less disruption to the game later this week.
Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 feature separate queues. Destiny server queues regulate player population to provide stable conditions for Destiny gameplay.
Please note the following:
- If a player loses connection or is removed from the queue, their placement will not be retained
- If a player reaches the front of this queue and is unable to connect to Destiny servers, they will have to re-enter the queue to try again
- Queue times may vary, depending on server traffic and concurrent population
And as the patch notes suggest, Bungie have been focused on solving some of the lingering issues affecting Raids, the multiplayer Crucible experience, as well as a few item glitches.
