Destiny 2 Update 7.3.0 Maintenance: When Will The Servers be Back up
According to Bungie's status page, Destiny 2 was taken offline at 7 AM PDT on November 28. The maintenance period is expected to last approximately two hours.
Bungie states that players can expect to log back in at around 9 AM PDT. The process should be completed by 11 AM PDT.
Update 7.3.0 brings extensive tuning passes to Strand subclasses, exotic armor, crafting costs, and core activities. It also kicks off a special Dawning holiday event with new quests, rewards, and festive additions.
This downtime enables Bungie to smoothly roll out the sweeping adjustments in Update 7.3.0 ahead of the Lightfall expansion next year. The changes aim to improve the overall sandbox balance, incentives, and longevity of reward systems.
With so many tweaks to abilities, subclasses, and gear, maintenance allows them to deploy it without stability or performance issues. It also lets them monitor for any glaring problems before players flood back in.
