I thought Destiny 2 was going to keep a small team around to fix bugs and maintain stability, but it sounds like Sony is turning off the lights.
How sad for the D2 team. You can tell they’re trying their best to leave the game in a good place. 😞💔
Sony purchasing Bungie for 3.6 billion only to not invest in a Destiny 3 and eventually shut down the only successful IP the studio has is mind-boggling to me.
Re: “Bug Bar”
As we get into our last string of hotfixes, the team is trying to squash as many bugs as possible. You’ll see some ability bug fixes next week, and a slew of other things touched in a later update, but we are nearing the final delivery of patch notes.
Some issues may not be addressed due to “risk” and live on. Here are some of the questions we’re asking ourselves in Traige as we process your reports: could a potential fix break the game further? Can’t take it.
Could a change/nerf enjoyment of the PvE game for the sake of balance? Likely won’t take it unless it’s egregious or trivializing buildcrafting. As an example, Truth is a bit too hot, leading to a handful of guardians just… standing around and shooting rockets without a thought in the world. No mods, no buildcrafting. Just toppled raid bosses. We can get a tiny ammo backpack nerf in to at least have folks worry about picking up some bricks during DPS, but we don’t want to crater the thing.
What if an armor set looks a bit buggy? While we hate some rough edges impacting your style, we may not be able to address it as a rushed fix could tarnish your looks even more.
What if Hunters are 1-shotting opponents in pvp? Let’s try to get that addressed asap, tested, and released.
What about the Titan Bubble or Stackening trivializing all of our endgame difficulty content? Let folks have some fun, but get it patched up before final.
SRL ties feel a bit frequent, can we tune them? Well, if that breaks placements do we have time to revert the change? What about a few months down the road, what if we regret making the change because it’s leading to worse experiences with various connection qualities? Leave it as is. 4 way ties are a bit wonky… but kind of fun!
Players don’t like a pvp mode in rotation, can we change how often it appears? Likely not - folks may need it for triumphs, or we’re seeing more players playing it than players vocally frustrated by it. It’ll rotate out after a few days. Leave it be.
There are many, many convos like these happening daily. Team’s doing everything it can to address your reports while setting up for the long haul.
After our final patch (TBD), you may see backend server maintenance for general upkeep, but any patch vehicle will be restricted to severe issues like widespread crashes.
If we find gnarly crucible balance issues or “1-shot the pantheon boss with little investment” builds, we’ll likely lean on disabling items, abilities, or whatever the culprit is for the problem at hand. It’s not the best solution, but we have the levers to keep things a bit stable.
The finality of all this is a bit rough to get into, but wanted to set expectations appropriately. We aren’t going to turn a blind eye to your reports. May be limited with what we can do, but we’ll still try.
Please do not hesitate to continue reporting issues to our help forums over on https://t.co/TWFNLn7XlP.
Thank you all for joining us for MoT. The team was overjoyed with seeing your reactions, videos, art, stories, and love - and many have been loving the moments shared with you in-game.
Not all of us are public facing. Every so often, you may have a D2 dev team member emoting you a hug or a heart after overcoming a rough Nightfall boss and you don’t even know it! Whether they’re an employee or just a community member… show ‘em some love with your favorite emote too.
Appreciate you, always. See you out there.

OKC looked so lost out there tonight. They routinely didn’t push the ball up even when they had a man advantage.
It wasn’t just fatigue. They looked unprepared, especially at the end when they didn’t seem to know which plays to run.
The final trailer for Steven Spielberg’s ‘DISCLOSURE DAY’ has been released.
The film follows the disclosure to the world that aliens might be real.
In theaters on June 12.
Destiny 3 cannot be made by the same Bungie that crafted Lightfall, Echoes, Revenant, Edge of Fate and Renegades.
The IP is in dire need of a fresh start in all departments. A Destiny 3 made by the current creative team would be a disaster.

For almost twelve years, we have had the joy and honor to explore the Destiny universe with you all. Through all the ups and downs, surprises and triumphs, building Destiny alongside our players has been a monumental privilege. While our love for Destiny 2 has not changed, it has become clear that after The Final Shape, we have reached the time for our shared worlds, and Destiny, to live beyond Destiny 2.
As our focus turns towards a new beginning for Bungie, we will begin work incubating our next games. To that end, on June 9, 2026, we will release the final live-service content update for Destiny 2 to begin that new journey as a studio.
Though active development may be concluding, we will ensure that Destiny 2 remains playable, just as the original Destiny is today. Many changes in this final update will aim to ensure that Destiny 2 is a welcoming place for players to return to.
We’re proud of Destiny 2, the places it took us, and the legacy it has created. Because of you all, our universe is vast, built on years of shared stories, adventures, and victories. From the Cosmodrome to the Pale Heart to the Lawless Frontier, we have forged life-long memories and friendships with you all.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who made that journey with us.
From the deepest part of our hearts, thank you, and we'll see you in the stars.
Lots of openly racist people on this app have bios that read: “Christ is King.”
In their world, God is white and discriminates against people of color.

DS9 was a refreshing new take on the IP and arguably, the best incarnation of Star Trek. Not perfect, but had the best characters, writing, themes and was ahead of its time.
Internally, humans are all the same. Our skeletons, tissue, veins, hearts, blood, etc.
It’s astonishing how our external wrapping makes people think we’re different species.
Racism really is for extremely low IQ individuals.
