Destiny 2 will be offline for 25 hours ahead of the launch of its final expansion, The Final Shape.
The downtime – which will begin at 5pm UK time on June 3 (that’s 9am PT and 12pm ET) and end at 7pm ET on June 4 – is necessary to prepare for the new expansion, which is estimated to take up at least 129GB of free space on each platform, and around 300GB on Steam.
As detailed in the latest Destiny Updates This WeekPlayers can pre-download update 8.0.0.2 on PS3 from 6pm UK time (10am PT, 1pm ET) on June 1, while PC and Xbox players will have to wait until the same time on June 3.
However, the storage requirements are pretty hefty. You’ll need 144GB for the PS5 and 130GB for the PS4. Xbox Series X/S players will need 165GB and Xbox One players will need 139GB.
However, PC players are the ones who bear the brunt of the huge download sizes; the Microsoft Store version requires 156GB, while the Epic Games Store and Steam require you to have 280GB and 300GB of free space respectively – or more, depending on which language you have installed.
Thankfully, the install size will be small once everything is installed (Steam and EGS installs will be 155GB and 144GB respectively), but it will still take up a significant chunk of your console’s HDD, especially if you play on a previous-generation system or a 500GB Xbox Series S, as Destiny 2 will take up a third of your HDD.
If I don’t know, Final Shape DLC has leaked online after the expansion became temporarily available yesterday on PS5. Developer Bungie “killed” the servers, but it wasn’t before revealing spoilers about the story, raids, trophies, loot, and much – much, much more. excess More – more and more pressure on social media.
Bungie later acknowledged that spoilers had been shared online, and that “a small group of players” had been able to access the campaign, collections, Echoes, and “other rewards information”. It advised players who do not want to spoil the experience to “be very cautious” on social media ahead of The Final Shape’s release next week, and asked those who had seen spoilers to “please be considerate of others”.
