The Future 2 The Fringe of Destiny launch time is quickly to be upon us, and as with earlier years, upkeep downtime will begin a bit earlier, letting Bungie hopefully launch the growth with minimal turbulence—not that I am precisely hopeful on that rely.
Do not get me mistaken, I am nonetheless an everyday Future 2 participant, however the yr Bungie manages to launch an growth with no prolonged upkeep downtime or server points is the yr hell freezes over.
Beneath, I’ve included all the small print about when upkeep begins on Tuesday, plus just a little listing of issues it’s best to in all probability get achieved earlier than it begins (and the present Future yr ends). You may also preload The Fringe of Destiny, so I’ve added a piece for that under, too.
Future 2 The Fringe of Destiny launch occasions and upkeep begin
The pre-launch upkeep downtime interval for Future 2 The Fringe of Destiny begins at 5:45 AM PDT on Tuesday, July 15 (1:45 pm BST, 8:45 am EDT) and runs all the best way as much as the launch of the growth on the identical day at:
- 10 am PDT (West Coast US)
- 1 pm EDT (East Coast US)

This is similar as the standard Future 2 weekly reset time, however I’ll eat my hat if there aren’t launch-related points, both attributable to extended upkeep downtime or servers crashing out. If upkeep time has ended however you continue to cannot get in, test both the Future 2 server and replace standing web page or Bungie Service Standing for stay updates on X.
