Destiny 2, Bungie’s popular science fantasy live service shooter, has been taken offline following widespread reports of error codes and queues that have prevented players from logging into and playing the game. The developer says that this will assist them in identifying the root cause of these issues, and that more details will be shared when possible.
“Destiny 2 is being temporarily brought offline to assist in investigations into error codes, inability to log in, and login queues,” wrote the studio on the official Bungie Help Twitter account. “More information will be provided once available.”
Since all of Destiny 2’s content requires an internet connection, no part of the game will be playable while its servers are offline. Anyone that attempts to log in, regardless of platform, will be met with a downtime notice on the game’s title screen.

Notably, Bungie’s looter shooter has suffered numerous technical difficulties like this throughout the last several months. Earlier this year, the game’s application programming interface (API) was taken offline several times due to various problems, resulting in valuable and important third-party apps like Destiny Item Manager becoming unavailable. Destiny 2’s servers also went down in late January due to reports of lost achievements, and more recently, many have experienced bugs where players become invisible, as well as instances of high framerates causing enemies to deal significantly more damage than they’re supposed to.
We’ll keep this article updated with the latest communications and statements from Bungie as the developers continue investigating the cause of these error codes and login queues.
