Latest Update Released for Destiny (Hotfix)


Just new update "Hotfix" launched from Bungie, which entirely focused and contained a Sandbox tuning pass and changes to the Crucible, is now available to download on PS4 and Xbox one.

As designer Josh Hamrick said "Over the last couple of days, as we continued to test the patch, it came to our attention that the changes we made to Hungering Blade were unintentionally shared among a number of additional elements (list below). While we considered delaying the hotfix to remove the shared change, we ultimately decided to live with the patch we’d made and tested...for more".
