Destiny 2 underwent server maintenance before the launch of the Beyond Light expansion, and the servers were shut down earlier than it was expected. The game company Bungie had previously made an announcement that Destiny 2 game servers are going to be offline starting Monday, which is the 9th of November, and the servers will come back online with the Beyond Light expansion after its usual weekly reset on Tuesday, which is the 10th of November.

The PC players can start the Beyond Light's pre-load on the Steam platform from 9 pm PST (5 am GMT). One thing to note is that the installation process took more space than the game's usual space requirements. A total of around 186GB was needed for this installation but after completion, the game size will come down to around a third of this size.

The engineering director of Destiny, David Aldridge mentioned the reasons for why this happened, and even acknowledged that was going to be very tough for the players who have slower or metered connections, but he also added that due to a combination of culling unused or replaced content, install size optimizations, and moving some content to the Destiny Content Vault, Destiny 2’s install size will shrink to between 59 and 71GB (depending on platform).

Destiny 2 Beyond Light Game Pass

Destiny 2: Beyond Light is now available via the Xbox Game Pass. This expansion and its entire content are available on console and Android (via xCloud) for the players who have a Game Pass subscription. Although the players will have to pay for all of the seasonal content that is upcoming, at least the gamers on Xbox who have an active Game Pass subscription can start playing it right away.
