Destiny 2 Episode Heresy introduces a new era of sandbox and seasonal models for players to enjoy. As such, server downtimes will be constant, and Bungie will occasionally take the servers down across all regions to push patches, new seasons, weekly resets, and whole expansions.
Scheduled maintenance will always be active throughout an Episode, where Bungie will take down their servers for a specific amount of time every week due to a Hotfix or a regular weekly reset. Players interested in the full patch notes of these hotfixes can keep an eye out on Bungie's official website.

Destiny 2 servers require maintenance for a smooth launch in every aspect. More than 100,000 players usually attempt to launch the game via Steam and log into the servers simultaneously, which can be quite stressful. These numbers often reach half a million during an expansion launch, with a history of delays and downtime extensions.
