Destiny 2 The Final Shape art

Destiny 2servers are finally recovering after the onslaught of players trying to get in to play The Final Shape yesterday, andBungiehas apologized for the inconvenience.

If you guessed that Destiny 2’s servers might take a bit of a battering yesterday at The Final Shape’s launch, then you’d be correct.Players were simply told that “servers not available” yesterday eveningin aDestiny 2 error code, and Bungie suggested restarting your console of choice or Steam to try and get in, as the maintenance period leading into The Final Shape’s launch was extended.

As this was all going down yesterday, Bungie took to Twitter to apologize for the inconvenience caused. In the tweet thread below, Bungie writes that it’s “hard at work trying to resolve each of these issues as quickly as possible,” but reassures players that most of the connection issues stemming from earlier in the day had actually been fixed.

Hey everyone, if connection issues have blocked you from playing or enjoying The Final Shape today, we want to apologize. We’re hard at work trying to resolve each of these issues as quickly as possible, and many of the connection issues from this morning have already been fixed.June 5, 2024

Just a matter of hours ago, Bungie put out the tweet below, further reassuring Destiny 2 players that it had seen “significant improvements after the recent server restarts.” The development team does state, however, that there are still ongoing issues with Destiny 2 being able to admit players onto its servers, but doesn’t elaborate on what these issues actually are.

We are seeing significant improvements after the recent server restarts. We appreciate everyone’s patience while we worked through this major issue. Stay tuned to @BungieHelp for updates on other issues we are still monitoring. https://t.co/zUGMQ92C0PJune 5, 2024

Elsewhere asDestiny 2: The Final Shapewent live yesterday,Bungie warned players about bugged abilities. Additionally, the developer said players should avoid jumping into co-op missions during the middle of a mission, and should similarly avoid switching characters during the campaign, if they want their progress to be properly recorded.
