The capacity of Helldivers 2 servers has been increased once again
Due to the wide acceptance of the players, the developer of Helldivers 2 had to increase the capacity of the servers.
It seems that the reception of the shooting game and co-op Helldivers 2 has exceeded the expectations of the studio Arrowhead; Because the popularity and statistics of the players of this game continues to expand and has exceeded the preparation and prediction of the development team. The high reception caused us to see many problems in the game experience on PC and PlayStation 5 since the release of Helldivers 2; So that the overcrowding of players and the subsequent congestion of the servers has caused bugs in the progress system, connection to the server and other problems.
In the meantime, Arrowhead Studio is making extensive efforts to solve the game's problems and has increased the capacity of the game's servers in the latest action. In an official message to Helldivers 2 players, the developer announced that the capacity of the servers to serve simultaneous players on both PC and PlayStation 5 platforms has increased to 450,000. However, the developer warned about problems related to progress and connecting to the server.
"Recently we've had some server capacity issues with a spike in concurrent players," Arrowhead Studio Support Manager Misty Hart noted on Reddit. These problems caused disruptions in the form of mission failures, the player returning to the ship, or logging out of the game. Our team is working around the clock to improve these. While we have been able to fix some issues, there is still a lot of work to do to provide an ideal experience for all Helldivers players.
For this reason, we had to increase the number of simultaneous players to 450,000 in order to create more stability in the performance of the servers. We will continue to work with our partners to raise this ceiling. If you have problems with progress, please restart the game to sync the supported items. Thank you for your patience."
This is not the first time that Arrowhead Studio has had to increase server capacity to fix similar problems. The developer announced last week that it will increase the number of simultaneous players on both platforms to 360,000. Although these problems may be annoying for the players, their occurrence is a sign of the amazing reception of the players for the developer and Sony.
Helldivers 2 marked the biggest launch of Sony's first-party games on Steam, surpassing big games such as God of War and Marvel's Spider-Man. This game recently recorded a peak of 333,000 concurrent players and has more concurrent players than popular games such as Destiny 2, Starfield, and Halo Infinite.
