Destiny 2: The Witch Queen pre-load unavailable on PS4 "Due to an unforeseen issue." News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 22 Feb 2022 11 comments Destiny 2's big new expansion The Witch Queen arrives today for all platforms, though its pre-load has been held up on PS4 due to "an unforeseen issue". Late last night, PS4 owners reported being unable to download the game's ~72GB of required content files ahead of The Witch Queen going live today. Other platforms, including PS5, are unaffected. Watch on YouTube In a tweet this morning, Bungie's support account acknowledged the snafu, and said PS4 owners would have to wait until 9am PST (5pm UK time) when the update formally goes live. This means a lengthy wait for PS4 owners to download and copy the update to their consoles - at a time friends on other platforms will be rushing to play. Due to an unforeseen issue, PS4 Required Content is not yet available for download. Players using the PS4 version of Destiny 2 can download these files at 9 AM PST tomorrow when Update 4.0.0.1 becomes available.All Required Content is ~72 GB total.Stay tuned for updates.- Bungie Help (@BungieHelp) February 22, 2022 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

"That is if the servers let us in b4 he's done which isn't guaranteed lol." Others cheekily suggested that the wait for PS4 players to join server queues would actually benefit fans on other platforms - with fewer people trying to get in. And of course, there were jokes about the issue in relation to PlayStation's recent announcement it would buy Bungie for $3.6bn. "They made witch queen an Xbox exclusive wtf is this plot twist," joked another fan. Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is due to go live today at 5pm UK time and add a fresh campaign to the game, a new Throne World destination, another raid and more. But at the same time, Destiny 2 will bin even more of its older content, including the Forsaken campaign, Tangled Shore destination and the bulk of Year 4 seasonal content.
