A brand new update for Destiny 2 will arrive later today (March 3), but will, unfortunately, come with some lengthy server downtime before patch 4.0.0.2 is deployed.

Today's update is merely for a few important bug fixes and improvements, so fans shouldn't expect any new content in the upcoming Destiny 2 patch. However, it was just last week that fans received the highly anticipated The Witch Queen DLC.

If you've been encountering a few stubborn bugs since the launch of Destiny 2's latest DLC, today's patch will likely rectify them. So, here's everything you need to know about the March 3 Destiny 2 update and server downtime schedule.

Destiny 2 Server Downtime Schedule

According to the official Bungie Help Twitter account, background maintenance for Destiny 2 will begin at 4AM PT / 12PM GMT. However, players won't be removed from the game until 7:45AM PT / 3:45PM GMT.

From this point onwards players will be unable to log into the game until 9AM PT / 5PM GMT. Following the downtime, a new patch will be deployed for all Destiny 2 players to download before they can jump back in.
