Today, on the seventh day of the seventh month, we celebrate Bungie Day.
Before you go believing we’re on a conscience trip here, this isn’t something we made to respect ourselves. The absolute first Bungie Day was facilitated by the players as an approach to communicate their adoration for the games we make. We joined that party and, in the years that followed, we’ve utilized the event to commend that equivalent network.
It’s a touch of a modest representation of the truth to state that 2020 has been a difficult year. Simultaneously, games get an opportunity to assist individuals with feeling less detached in a world that might be shut to them. We trust you can take some time today to appreciate the kinships and recollections manufactured through the games we’ve had the benefit of making.
Today is a celebration of you.
PROPER ATTIRE
When attending a celebration, you should always choose something nice to wear – something festive. The Bungie Store has you covered. They’re even having a sale!
During this pandemic, sick kids around the world are needing to be isolated from family and friends, and limit their exposure to critical care workers. A portion of your Bungie Store purchase will support the Bungie Foundation’s efforts to keep kids connected, engaged, and entertained during this challenging time.
FRESH DOWNLOAD
Update 2.9.1 happened right in the middle of Bungie Day, so you have updates in the game to enjoy. More guests have arrived to the party as a dark influence grows across the system. The Contact public event is now on Titan and a new Exotic quest awaits you in the Tower.
Patch notes are now live if you want to get more details on what this update is changing and what bugs are being squashed.
That’s not all we have in store for you. Keep reading to learn how you can triumph over the Darkness.
MOMENTS OF TRIUMPH
The annual tradition of Guardians rising to the occasion returns today as Moments of Triumph is now live. There are challenges that await you and rewards should you succeed. For the full details, visit the official Moments of Triumph page.
Here is a quick look at the rewards.
For the truly committed, a new Seal and the “MMXX” title will be available for completing all 28 Triumphs, including some Triumphs that will go live during Solstice of Heroes in August. These must be completed during Season of Arrivals, but you can continue to show off your exclusive title in future Seasons as proof of your dedication.
FEATURED RAIDS
Starting today, the weekly reward limit is being removed from five featured raids. You will be able to farm rewards, including Exotics, from the main encounters as much as you like. Secret chests will still remain on a weekly limit. Here are the five featured raids:
- Leviathan
- Eater of Worlds

There will also be some cosmetic items available for completing the five featured raids.
- Leviathan Triumph completion offers the Contender’s Ghost Shell and shaders

Completing all 5 of the featured raids grants players a special emblem along with the ability to purchase a special raid ring through Bungie Rewards.

You and the community continue to change so many lives. We’ll never stop saying thank you for making this world a better and more joyful place.
Oh and if you needed some new wallpapers we got you covered!
So, again, happy Bungie Day.
Today is about you – all of you.
We create worlds that inspire friendship. When you come together in those worlds (and the real world) to do amazing things, you honor all of our hard work. In that way, you could say that every day is Bungie Day, but the seventh day of the seventh month is a nice time to make it official.
We appreciate you. Thank you for playing our games. Be excellent to each other.
