Bungie servers decided to eat dirt right as Marathon rolled out Update 1.0.9.1 and Destiny 2 prepped its final Monument of Triumph drop. Sign-on issues slammed both titles plus Destiny 1 on May 26, turning planned maintenance into a full-blown login nightmare for Guardians and runners alike.

Official @BNGServerStatus posts confirmed the problems hit across the board, with the team scrambling to investigate while Marathon's scheduled 5-9 AM PDT window dragged on with queues and disconnects. Players on X vented about the timing, some linking it to the bigger picture of Destiny 2 winding down live service in June while Bungie pushes Marathon hard.

Community chatter on Reddit and X shows the usual frustration — queues stacking up, runs getting yanked, and folks wondering if this is just Bungie juggling too many live-service balls at once. The issues reportedly resolved by late morning PDT, but the sting lingered for anyone chasing that fresh update high.

Downtime like this on launch day for a patch? Classic Bungie move that leaves everyone grinding their teeth instead of grinding loot.
