Destiny servers down intermittently — Bungie’s blockbuster shooter experiencing connection errors

While a huge number of players are online playing Destiny right now, many have reported trouble connecting to the sci-fi shooter since it launched.

Destiny debuted last night at midnight, and it has since suffered a number of intermittent connection errors. Many of these have made the servers completely unavailable while others have kicked players offline in the middle of their game. The latter problem often causes players to lose progress. Leading up to its launch, the shooter became one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Gamer turnout for Destiny combined with the fact that it requires an online connection to work likely means that Bungie’s online infrastructure is handling a massive amount of traffic.
