Destiny server status: How to check if Destiny 2 is down
If you're reading this article at any other time and wondering if Destiny 2 is down, there are a few places you can check to see if the problems go beyond just you.
The official Destiny Server and Update Status webpage will clue you in about any planned downtime, so that should be your first port of call if you're experiencing problems.
Beyond that, it's also worth checking the community-generated Down Detector website, which will allow you to see if anyone else is reporting problems at the same time as you.
If problems seem to be widespread on Down Detector, it's likely that Destiny 2 is currently offline or experiencing other difficulties.
For up-to-minute updates from the Destiny 2 developers, it's also worth keeping an eye on the official Bungie Help Twitter account, which should let you know about any issues. Hopefully your problems won't last long and you'll be back in Destiny 2 in no time!
