Those looking to answer the question, "How long will Destiny 2 be down," don't have to go far to find the answer.

For the launch of Destiny 2 Lightfall, players will be unable to log into Destiny 2 from February 27 at 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET. The next time players can log in will be February 28 at 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET. This is a 25 hour window where Destiny 2 servers will be unavailable due to a maintenance schedule. During this time, players should ensure that they download the Lightfall update. While players will eventually be able to log in, the maintenance is not due to conclude until 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET, so expect server instability until then.
