Bungie has just reactivated the Destiny beta on all platforms, a day earlier than originally scheduled.

The developers took the beta offline earlier this week for planned maintenance, and were scheduled to bring it back online tomorrow--the first time it would be available for Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners. Instead, the studio just announced that it finished the work a day early and the beta is now live again and has launched on Microsoft's systems.
The beta has been enjoyable so far, with a much larger slice of the campaign demonstrated than what we saw in the alpha. Multiplayer remains fun as well, though it would be nice to see more game types. Bungie promises it has more in store, however, teasing unannounced beta content on its site.

"If you've already played, you haven't seen everything yet. We've got some surprises in store, and if you play on Saturday, July 26th beginning at 2pm PDT, we've got a permanent reward on reserve that will commemorate the experience."
Bungie emailed the Xbox download codes, so if you were waiting to play Destiny on the system, you should have already received yours. The developers alo provided this amusing tip, which PlayStation owners will understand after the launch day woes:
Hey, Xbox gamers, the Destiny Beta is a two-stage download. You're downloading an installer. Seek out your PS friends for grief counseling.
