Destiny 2 Season of Defiance will be entering its ninth week, with a lot still in store for everyone. While the main storyline has concluded, the community is gearing up for the first annual event of the year. However, before everything falls into place, Bungie has to take care of its servers and sandbox simultaneously. The upcoming weekly reset on April 25 will bring in Hotfix 7.0.5.1, details of which are still unknown.
However, with multiple changes taking place in previous weeks, it will be interesting to see if Bungie has any major plans ahead of Guardian Games. However, today's downtime will be for 30 minutes, starting at 9:30 am PDT and lasting until the reset time at 10 am PDT.
Destiny 2 downtime for Hotfix 7.0.5.1 in all major regions (April 25)
Destiny 2 servers will stay offline for 30 minutes before everything resets in-game. Bungie will be holding maintenance this week to deploy the Hotfix 7.0.5.1, as well as managing all the new content arriving with the weekly reset. The following is a list of the upcoming duration of server downtime:
- India: 10:00 pm to 10:30 pm (April 25).
- China: 12:30 am to 1:00 am (April 26).
- UK: 5:30 pm to 6:00 pm (April 25).
- Australia: 2:30 am to 3:00 am (April 26).
- Brazil: 1:30 pm to 2:00 pm (April 25).
- USA: 9:30 am (PDT) to 10:00 am (PDT) (April 25).
Everyone will be removed from all ongoing activities within the aforementioned time frame. Players should note that the maintenance itself will start an hour before the weekly reset is scheduled to take place, which is at 9 am PDT. Once the servers return online, the maintenance will carry on for another hour until 11 am PDT. Players might experience server issues while the maintenance is going on. In such cases, it's recommended that they wait for the maintenance to conclude before trying to log back in.
During this downtime, all websites related to Destiny API will stay offline. Some of them include Bray. tech, DIM (Destiny Item Manager), Light. gg, Destiny Tracker, Destiny 2 recipes, and more. Players can also expect a lot of error codes during the maintenance runtime, such as Cabbage, CAT, Calabrese, and Weasel.
Since the upcoming reset will also bring in a hotfix, everyone should keep an eye on their game client for downloadable files.
