When you launch Destiny 2, you're stuck on a screen that says "One Moment Please," which is essentially a waiting line. However, soon afterward, you're greeted by an error that says Destiny 2 servers are down. We were kicked out of games on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, so we can verify the authenticity of these claims.

Bungie announced at around 5:15 PM EDT that it was taking Destiny and Destiny 2 offline for "emergency maintenance." At the time of this writing, the team is still working on it.
