Destiny 2 ‘Servers are not available’ error solutions

To fix the Destiny 2 ‘Servers are not available error,’ try the following methods:

  • Clear cache
  • Check Destiny 2 server status page
  • Change to a wired connection
  • Ensure that your internet connection is stable
  • Install new updates
  • Wait until the servers clear up

One of the first things you can do is check Destiny 2’s server status page. The servers are experiencing some issues due to the launch of The Final Shape DLC. That means you may need to wait a bit for Bungie to address the problems. The servers may also be overloaded with too many users, which is why you won’t be able to join. Currently, the servers will be down until 10 a.m. PT, but maintenance will continue until 12 p.m.

You can still try to fix problems on your end by ensuring that your internet connection is stable. It is always best to have a wired connection for live service games since it helps stabilize the network and fixes latency issues.

Players should also ensure that the latest updates have been installed. Destiny 2 has received plenty of patches, so you may have an older version that no longer works. However, you’ll likely have to clear up more room, as their storage sizes can often be substantial.

If you want to try another method, the Bungie Help page suggests clearing your device’s cache. But if all else fails, you may need to wait a bit more for the servers to clear up.
