How to check the status of the Destiny 2 Companion App 

The status of the Destiny 2 Companion App is tied to the official Destiny 2 game servers. That means that the maintenance of the servers may affect the connectivity of the Companion App.

The regularly scheduled maintenance for Destiny 2 is normally on Tuesdays, but emergency maintenance can also happen from time to time. However, Bungie will usually announce all server maintenance on their social media, such as their BungieHelp Twitter account, so it’s helpful to give them a follow for that reason. Another useful way to check their server status is through their dedicated status page. There is also DownDetector, a third-party service that monitors the online status of various game servers.

If none of these show any disturbance in service, you can take several more steps to check if the problem might be on your side. For example, you could try restarting your phone or your phone’s wi-fi connection and see if that resolves the issue. Then, you can try re-verifying your login information, just in case. The app itself could be experiencing issues, so reinstalling it could help in some extreme cases. Hopefully, one of these solutions will help in getting you back on the Destiny 2 Companion App.

I have been into gaming since the days of Sega Mega Drive and Amiga. Over the years in gaming, I have raided at a high level, completed rare achievements, coached other players, and written about games since 2016. Whether it’s been clicking heads; developing cities, colonies, and empires; or commanding parties of adventurers; I’ve always prided myself on being able to understand the underlying mechanics of games. Outside of gaming, I enjoy a variety of activities and hobbies, including playing with my pup Astra, working out, as well as crafting, painting, and leatherwork.
