After maintenance has ended you will be able to jump into everything that Lightfall will offer you. It should be noted at the Destiny 2 Sign-on begins again stage you will be able to download the new 7.0.0.1 update for the game. If this is slow to download, there are ways that you can try and increase the speed.

Why Are the Destiny 2 Servers Off for a Full Day?

Since Lightfall is a major DLC and update for Destiny 2, it means that the developers will need more time to get the game prepared for everyone. For the smoothest implementation possible it is good that the maintenance will last for a day. Further, there are a host of overall game tweaks and changes arriving with this update too so even more reasons as to why the maintenance will be longer.

From harder activity changes to more, there are plenty of quality-of-life inclusions going to be launched as part of the update. For now, it’s time to get ready for the long maintenance that is on the way.
