Helldivers 2 server issues

The mammoth success that is Helldivers 2 continues to defy expectations, such that it has now begun to suffer from capacity issues, leading to players being unable to connect to the game’s servers.

Taking to X (formally known of Twitter) to address the challenges, the official Helldivers 2 account said that despite their efforts the game was now suffering from server congestion and that the team would be working to improve the situation without delay.

Despite our best efforts to increase server capacity to accommodate all of you who want to dive for Freedom, we are experiencing capacity issues. We are once more working without delay to improve the issue and we hope to have a fix in place as soon as possible. Thank you

It comes at a time where Helldiver 2’s all-time concurrent player count on Steam has surpassed that of Destiny 2 and Starfield, and impressively has even beaten every other PlayStation-published title – some 14 titles – when you combine all-time concurrent totals on PC.

Moreover, due to a prominent progression bug, developer Arrowhead had rolled out a 50 percent multiplier on XP for this weekend as a goodwill gesture, hopefully whomever wishes to avail is able to connect given the aforementioned capacity issues. Best try to connect at off-peak times.

We published our review of Helldivers 2 last week, scoring it a 9/10 and saying that, ‘’there’s no getting around it – Helldivers 2 is a supremely fun, frequently unintentionally hilarious and bombastic squad shooter that builds upon its predecessor and deftly sets up a long-term future in the process.”
