Bungie Delays Destiny 2 Patch After Sony Cuts Nearly 300 Developers

Summary
Bungie postponed next Tuesday’s Destiny 2 patch and this week’s TWID after layoffs hit developers who had been working on the hotfix.
A Bungie representative said the delay is temporary, adding that a handful of fixes in the patch came from impacted team members and the update will ship when possible.
The patch was expected to address remaining balance problems and bugs after Destiny 2’s final major update earlier in June, but Bungie gave no new release timeline.
Nearly 300 Bungie developers were affected in Sony’s latest cuts, which also reached some Marathon and Sony Interactive Entertainment support staff, leaving fans uncertain how much post-launch support remains.
The delay underscores a broader retrenchment: Bungie had still been promising Destiny 2 expansions at the start of 2026 before Sony shifted to cost-cutting after Marathon failed to deliver an immediate sales boost.
