Plan for Continuous Improvements
In an announcement on Discord, Arrowhead Game Studios acknowledged the challenges faced by Helldivers 2 players and assured them of ongoing efforts to enhance the game's performance. The studio emphasized that while the initial update addresses significant issues, continuous improvements will be implemented in the coming days and weeks.
Arrowhead's message to the Helldivers community stated, "No single update will solve all the issues. Rather, we will be making continuous improvements over the days and weeks to come. We're all working hard to make sure that the game is a stable place to spread Managed Democracy to every planet in the galaxy. Thank you, as always."
Record-Breaking Success
Helldivers 2 has experienced immense success since its launch, setting a Steam concurrent player record of 409,367. This achievement surpasses the concurrent player counts of renowned titles such as Grand Theft Auto V, Starfield, Counter-Strike, and Destiny 2. However, the unprecedented popularity has led to challenges, particularly in areas of login, matchmaking, and server stability.
To address the strain on servers, Arrowhead has temporarily limited concurrent players to around 450,000 to enhance overall game stability.
