New Destiny Patch Out Now, Here's What It Does

While a lot of talk around the Destiny franchise may be about Destiny 2, Bungie is still supporting the first game. Today, the developer launched the newest update for the game, 2.6.0.2.

The new update fixes some serious-sounding issues, including one Crucible problem where the round timer for Elimination matches stopped indefinitely in some circumstances. The patch also addresses an issue where players could stand outside of the playable space on the Rusted Lands map.

There are also fixes for Destiny's raids, the Eververse store, vendors, and quests. You can see the full patch notes below, as posted on Bungie's website.

This patch arrives just before Destiny's Trials of Osiris event returns tomorrow, April 21. The playlist goes live at 10 AM PT and runs until Tuesday at 2 AM PT. You can read more about the activity here on Bungie's website.

As for Destiny 2, the highly anticipated game arrives in September for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as well as PC for the first time in the franchise. You can read more about Destiny 2 here.
