Destiny 2 Release Date Brought Forward to Put Less Stress on Servers - News
by William D'Angelo , posted on 22 June 2017 / 6,166 ViewsThe release date for Destiny 2 has been brought forward two days to Wednesday, September 6. Director Luke Smith says the release date was moved forward to put less stress on the servers.
"We were looking at a bunch of logistics; the technical diligence," Smith told GamesRadar. "Our games at Bungie historically have their highest concurrency on the Saturday of their first week. And so, by [originally] going out on a Friday, I think we were putting our technical teams at a risk."
Destiny 2 will launch for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One worldwide and October 24 for Windows PC.
