Bungie is rolling out another significant update for Destiny 2 today, with patch 9.1.5.5 scheduled for deployment on November 11, 2025. This Destiny 2 update today comes just one week after the smaller 9.1.5.4 patch that addressed various gameplay issues following the recent Shattered Vault content release. Players should prepare for several hours of server maintenance as the new update is implemented across all platforms.

According to Bungie's official maintenance schedule, servers will begin going offline at 5:00 AM PST (-8 UTC), with the update process continuing through 11:00 AM PST. During this window, all Destiny 2 services will be unavailable, and players attempting to log in may encounter Error Code CAT until they download the latest update.

What's Included in the Destiny 2 Update Today

While Bungie hasn't released the complete patch notes yet, this update is expected to address several outstanding issues that have persisted since the Shattered Vault content launch. Community managers have hinted on social media that the update will include weapon balancing adjustments, fixes for the Desert Perpetual raid encounters, and potentially new quality-of-life improvements for the Orders System that was recently announced for the upcoming Renegades expansion.

Players should also note that background maintenance is scheduled for Monday, November 10, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM PST. While this won't require downtime, some companion app functionality may be limited during this period as Bungie prepares their backend systems for Tuesday's major update.

Preparing for the Update

To ensure a smooth update experience, Guardians should take several precautions before logging off tonight:

  1. Claim all vendor rewards and seasonal engrams

  2. Equip your preferred loadout and fashion items

  3. Complete any time-sensitive bounties or quests

  4. Ensure you have sufficient storage space available on your device

Console players who have experienced slow update downloads in the past may want to manually check for updates once the maintenance begins. According to Bungie's help article: "For consoles that are taking an abnormally long time to begin the update process, players can attempt to manually start the update process by using the console's 'Check for Update' option."

Steam users experiencing installation issues should reference Valve's Update & Installation Issues knowledge base.

Final Week Events

This Destiny 2 update today coincides with the final week of the Festival of the Lost seasonal event. Players still have time to collect Lost Mementos by focusing Eerie Engrams at Eva Levante in the Tower before the event concludes. These limited-time cosmetics won't be available again until next year's festival, so collectors should prioritize completing their collections.

Additionally, Trials of Osiris continues this weekend, providing competitive PvP players with opportunities to earn exclusive weapons and armor before the season concludes.

API Disruption Warning

Bungie has warned players to expect "some turbulence" with the API following tomorrow's update. This may impact third-party inventory management apps like DIM, Ishtar Commander, and others. Players relying on these tools should prepare for potential disruptions by organizing their inventories before the maintenance period begins.

The Destiny 2 community eagerly awaits the complete patch notes, which will likely be published on Bungie.net once the update is fully deployed. As always, players can follow @BNGServerStatus on Twitter for real-time updates throughout the maintenance window.

Whether you're a New Light or a veteran Guardian, this Destiny 2 update today represents Bungie's ongoing commitment to refining the player experience as we move closer to the highly anticipated Renegades expansion. Eyes up, Guardian – new challenges and opportunities await when the servers return tomorrow afternoon.
