Destiny 2 is a very diverse game with a combination of an open world, dungeons, and remarkable gunplay. It allows players to create their own variations of character builds and weapons.
Destiny 2 v6.2.5.3 update not downloading on PS5
However, some Destiny 2 players have recently reported that the v6.2.5.3 update is not downloading on their PS5 consoles (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9).
The affected players say that whenever they try to update the PS5 version of the game, it gives a CE-107-981-6 error. So many players suspected that their game files are corrupted, and they uninstalled the game.
However, they are no longer able to download the Destiny 2 PS5 version after that. Others who did not remove the game report that it is stuck on ‘calculating update time’ and that no progress is being made.
This issue arose when players attempted to download the most recent patch (Hotfix 6.2.5.3) for PS5. The PS4 version of the game runs perfectly.
Some troubleshooting methods like uninstalling and reinstalling the game, restarting the PS5, and checking the game files don’t seem to work.
