Destiny 2’s last hotfix delayed ’cause, you know, almost 300 people at Bungie were laid off

What do you expect?

A final Destiny 2 hotfix has been delayed following the news that close to 300 Bungie employees were laid off by Sony.

“This week’s [This Week in Destiny], and next week’s patch planned for Tuesday, have been delayed,” Bungie advised on social media. “We will provide more information when we can.”

There’s no word on when the updates will make it to the internet, or into the game.

“We will get this out when possible,” the official Destiny 2 Reddit account added. “[A] handful of fixes in this delayed patch were from impacted team members. When this ships, please show love to the team, past and present.”

Earlier this week, at least 292 Bungie employees were laid off — most of the Destiny 2 team alongside some working on Marathon — alongside other support staff from Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Active development of Destiny 2 ended on 9 June, though servers remain open for those who wish to play the looter shooter.

Destiny 2 is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, and PS5.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
