Destiny 2 Forsaken: Patch Notes 1.24, Update 2.0.0.1

By Jesse Collins ·

In addition to the server maintenance taking them down on Destiny 2 Forsaken, there's a big patch. Some people are getting 1.24 as 8 GB, some nearly 19 GB. In either case, here's everything you need to know about it.

Destiny 2 Forsaken: Patch Notes 1.24, Update 2.0.0.1

With Forsaken coming out any minute now, Destiny 2 is taking its first step into year two with a big patch and server maintenance. That patch is going to be everyone’s first wait before they can play the game at 1PM EST.

Most websites are reporting that update to be 7 to 8 GB, but some users (like myself) are reporting up to nearly 19 GB of data for the patch if players did not already get the 1.23 patch prior to this one as a cumulative patch. This second update comes off the heels of the 1.23 patch just last week. On top of the server maintenance, expect to wait for this to download.

As for patch notes, the answers come very simple.
