Destiny 2 Servers Temporarily at Capacity - Error Code Chicken
By Nicholas Barth ·
Why are Destiny 2 servers down? Not only were not available in order for Bungie to prepare the title for the Forsaken expansion, some can't get in still and are dealing with servers temporarily at capacity.
UPDATE: 9/4/2018 - 10:18 PM PST
Destiny 2 players are currently beginning to filter into the title to experience the newly implemented Forsaken expansion. Unfortunately, the large amount of players trying to get into the Destiny 2 servers at once has caused them to temporarily reach capacity. This has caused players to begin receiving the error code of chicken and preventing them from playing. The servers could be temporarily at capacity for some time with the error code chicken being sent out until Bungie is able to stablize them.
Original Story
The day that the Destiny 2 community has been waiting for has finally arrived as the highly anticipated Forsaken expansion will be going live for players who have purchased the $40 package of new content. They will be able to begin playing the Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2 on Tuesday, September 4th.
However, Bungie currently has the servers of the title not available in order for maintenance to be done and to have the preparation for the release of the Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2 completed. How long will the Destiny 2 servers be down you ask? We have the full timetable for when the Destiny 2 servers will be done with maintenance below.
How Long Will the Destiny 2 Servers Be Down?
The servers were made not available at 7 AM PST and will be down until the maintenance for the Forsaken expansion is complete. Players can expect the servers to be made available once again and not be down any longer at 10 AM PST.
Once Bungie's first person shooter is made available and is no longer down for maintenance for the Forsaken expansion, players will be able to dive into the rich new story the developer of the franchise has created.
Guardians will be tasked with the mission of finding justice for everyone's favorite Exo Hunter Cayde-6 who was ruthlessly murdered at the hands of Uldren Sov, the Awoken prince who has gathered a new group of Fallen enemy to be his army.
There will also be plenty of new weapons, armor, abilities and more made available for players to find, collect and use in their battles during the Forsaken expansion for the first person shooter when the servers for Destiny 2 are no longer down and available to be used again by the passionate community of the title.
