PC

Here is what you need to do on PC to update Destiny 2 based on the launcher you are using:

• Steam:
  1. Steam fetches updates whenever it launches but if you have automatic updates turned off, it will still fetch for the latest update whenever a game is launched. So either restart Steam to get the update or if you still are not getting it, then launch the game once for the update to pop up.
  2. If this does not work for you, you can also try verifying the integrity of the game files. To do that, go to Destiny 2 in your Library, right-click on it, go to Properties > Installed Files, and select “Verify integrity of game files”.
• Microsoft Store:
  1. Close Destiny 2 if it is running
  2. In the Microsoft Store app, click on the “…” button which is next to your profile picture.
  3. Go to “Downloads and Updates”
  4. Click on the “Get updates” button
  5. Launch Destiny 2 after the update is complete
• Epic Games Store:
  1. Since there is no way to manually check for updates in the Epic Games Store, you will have to close out and re-launch the Epic Games Store application so that it will fetch new updates when it launches.
  2. If that does not work, then you will have to verify the game files for Destiny 2 in the Epic Games Launcher and see if that works.

If none of the above work for you regardless of your platform or launcher, you might have a broken version of Destiny 2 which will require a complete re-installation to fix the error code CAT.
