The countdown has officially begun for the launch of Destiny 2’s highly anticipated expansion, The Edge of Fate. Gamers everywhere are buzzing with excitement, gearing up for what promises to be a thrilling addition to the game. To help players prepare, Bungie has released a maintenance schedule that allows everyone to plan ahead and minimize any disruptions to their gameplay experience.
Maintenance Schedule and Launch Timing
Mark your calendars! The maintenance for Destiny 2’s The Edge of Fate kicks off on Tuesday, July 15, at 5:45 AM PDT (1:45 PM BST, 8:45 AM EDT). This window is crucial for Bungie to implement the necessary updates ahead of the expansion’s official launch later that day. While the launch is expected to go live shortly after maintenance wraps up, players should brace themselves for potential delays—something we’ve all experienced in the past, right?
As with previous expansions, the community is approaching launch day with a mix of excitement and cautious optimism. Many players still remember the server issues and extended downtimes that plagued past releases, leading to some serious speculation about whether this year will bring a smoother experience. With that said, keeping an eye on the official Destiny 2 server and update status pages will be key for real-time information on the game’s accessibility.
Preloading Options and Storage Requirements
Excited to dive into The Edge of Fate? Players can start preloading the expansion at 6:00 AM PDT on July 15—just 15 minutes after maintenance begins! Preloading is essential for those eager to jump right into the action as soon as it goes live. But a word of caution: storage requirements vary by platform, so make sure you have enough space for all the new content:
- Steam: 331.40 GB required, 148.40 GB post-install
- Epic Games Store: 329.24 GB required, 182.83 GB post-install
- Microsoft Store: 138.81 GB required
These figures include the current install size for Destiny 2 on Steam, so it’s a good idea to check your available storage to avoid any last-minute headaches!
What to Do Before the Expansion Launch
As we approach the end of the current Destiny year, players should complete a few key tasks to ensure a smooth transition into the new content. While some previous recommendations, like crafting certain weapons, may no longer apply due to game updates, it’s still vital to stay informed about essential narratives and gameplay elements that might shift with the new season.
Engaging with the community and brushing up on gameplay mechanics will also be beneficial as players gear up for the challenges that The Edge of Fate will bring. Keeping your finger on the pulse of any Bungie announcements leading up to the launch is a smart move, as these updates can greatly influence gameplay strategies and expectations.
As the gaming community collectively holds its breath for this expansion, there’s a shared hope for a seamless launch experience. Will Bungie deliver a smooth rollout for The Edge of Fate? Only time will tell. But until then, players should get their consoles ready and prepare for an exhilarating new chapter in Destiny 2.
