Destiny 2 players were left wondering if the game was back online after a recent server downtime. The issue started on a Tuesday morning, with players unable to access the game.

According to the official Bungie forum, the downtime was caused by a database issue. This was confirmed by Bungie's community manager, who apologized for the inconvenience.

Players were left waiting for several hours, with no clear estimate of when the game would be back online. Some players even took to social media to express their frustration.

The good news is that the issue has been resolved, and Destiny 2 is now back online. Players can once again access the game and continue playing.
