The release date and countdown to Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is nearly over, and you can pre-download and get some pre-order bonuses. This is going to be a big day, with over a million pre-orders for the upcoming Destiny 2 expansion already in place. With so many looking forward to the upcoming expansion, you need to brace yourself for the big queue and preload Destiny 2.
After backing up the server, you will be able to play the extension if you download the appropriate update file. Unfortunately for Destiny 2 players on PS4, Bungie has announced that the game will not be able to preload until the reset. Game servers are currently undergoing maintenance, and players attempting to access Destiny 2 will be queued for completion. According to Bungie’s official schedule, Destiny 2 as servers will be down for nearly 15 hours.
It is possible that the downtime of the game server will be extended and the release time will be pushed back, but we will let you know if/when there are any issues at the end of Bungie’s. Keep in mind that the servers will be filled with players and there may be some bugs that need to be ironed out. Players on other platforms will be able to play the latest Destiny 2 expansion earlier than PS4 players, and PS4 players will have to wait a bit before starting to download the required PS4 content, which can take a long time.
The wait means a long wait for PS4 owners to download and copy the update to their consoles – in a moment, friends on other platforms will rush to play on their PS4 owners. Most content related to the latest Destiny 2 expansion will be available upon arrival. It’s also a shame, as Destiny 2’s latest expansion will give players a host of exciting new features as they head out to battle Savathun. In the race to hit the new light level cap introduced with Destiny 2’s latest expansion, it’s disappointing that the PS4 player base will be missing a starter weapon. We can only hope that after a significant load, the rest of the experience is smooth.
Tomorrow (February 21) at 6 PM PST (0200 UTC), Destiny 2 will undergo maintenance for Update 4.0.0.1.
Players will be removed from activities at 6:45 PM (0245 UTC) and be unable to log in until 9 AM (1700 UTC) on February 22.

The download will begin once Destiny 2 launches after the patch is released. 4.0.0.1. Players using the PS4 version of Destiny 2 The Witch Queen will be able to download the required PS4 content tomorrow at 9:00 AM PST when Update 4.0.0.1 becomes available.
