Destiny 2's servers have been struggling lately, with Bungie having to take down the game to resolve various issues. However, things don't seem to have subsided completely, as players are still encountering errors within purchases, missing silver, and more. With the new Raid Root of Nightmares being just a day away, the company is pulling out all the stops to ensure a smooth launch day.

Additionally, the daily reset of March 9 will see the implementation of a hotfix. Many concurrent issues since the Lightfall launch are expected to be addressed here, including invisible players, missing items from loadouts, disabled mods, and more.

Typically, players will be taken out of the servers 15 minutes before the reset, as the downtime is expected to carry on longer than the usual daily reset. Destiny 2's server time for the offline status has been announced to begin at 8:45 am PST and will continue for more than two hours until 11:00 am PST.

The first major hotfix since the release of Destiny 2 Lightfall has been announced, promising to patch out several problems within the game's sandbox. However, Bungie has a lot to think about in the upcoming World's First Race in Root of Nightmares, considering the rough launch last year with Vow of the Disciple.

Today, on March 9, the company announced a downtime amidst everything that has been going on in the game. Given below is a list of times when the server will be taken offline for all major regions:

  • India: 10:15 pm (March 9)
  • China: 12:45 am (March 10)
  • UK: 5:45 pm (March 9)
  • Australia: 2:45 am (March 10)
  • Brazil: 1:45 pm (March 9)

The downtime scheduled for the hotfix will be longer than the usual mid-week 15-minute downtime. Players won't be able to log in until much later from the daily reset, as the expected uptime has been announced to be at 11:00 am PST. The following times list the downtime for all major regions:

  • India: 10:30 pm (March 9) to 12:30 pm (March 10)
  • China: 1:00 am to 3:00 am(March 10)
  • UK: 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm (March 9)
  • Australia: 3:00 am to 5:00 am (March 10)
  • Brazil: 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. (March 9)

Once the servers are back on, Bungie will continue background maintenance for an additional hour. Hence, Destiny 2 players can expect to receive a few error codes during their playtime from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm PST on March 9.
