Destiny 2 last update release time, date, maintenance and Monument of Triumph patch notes

It's truly a bittersweet day for fans on long-running live service shooter Destiny 2, as developer Bungie gets ready to release the last content update for the beloved game. The final Destiny 2 update ever will be available to download during a period of server downtime on PlayStation, Xbox and PC. After the update, Bungie will be retiring events like Solstice, Festival of the Lost, The Dawning, and Guardian Games.

Titled Monument of Triumph, the final Destiny 2 update has a June 9 release date on PC and consoles. The content officially has a 6pm BST UK release time, which is 10am PT / 1pm ET in the US, and 7pm CET in Europe. Unfortunately, however, fans will have to sit through some server downtime before the update goes live.

Destiny 2 Monument of Triumph release date, server downtime schedule

While Destiny 2 Monument of Triumph has a June 9 release date, the content won't be playable until after a period of server downtime.

The downtime begins at 1pm BST UK time on June 9, with players being removed from activities at 1.30pm BST UK time.

Downtime ends at 6pm BST UK time, although as Bungie points out, fans may be placed in a queue before being able to sample the new gameplay.

"Players logging into the game may be placed in a queue and may experience sign-on issues as background maintenance is still ongoing," Bungie explains.
