How to Log In to Destiny 2 on Xbox Series X|S
Bungie has warned fans that ongoing connection issues will prevent some users access Destiny 2 after Lightfall update, i.e. if they do not change the installation settings. Basically, if you’re one of those affected by connection issues, you’ll need to delete a bunch of old Destiny 2 DLC packs from your storage device before trying to connect.
here is full list of DLCs that need to be removed:
- Destiny 2: Forsaken – Black Armory
- Destiny 2: Forsaken – Joker’s Wild
- Destiny 2: Forsaken – Penumbra
- Destiny 2: Forsaken Annual Pass
- Expansion I: Curse of Osiris
- Expansion II: Warmind
And here’s how to remove these DLC packs on Xbox Series X and Series S:
- Quit Destiny 2 if the game is running
- Tap “Manage Game & Add-ons”
- Deselect any of the above content that you have installed
- Press “save changes” and allow your system to remove the DLC
- Relaunch Destiny 2 and log in
As for reinstalling these packages once you’ve successfully logged in, it might be worth keeping an eye on them. Bungie Social Channels for more updates. At the time of this writing, the team has given no instructions on reinstalling these packages, but hopefully they will update the community as Destiny 2: Lightfall begins rolling out in the whole world.
