The number of concurrent players of Helldivers 2 exceeded 400,000
The Helldivers 2 game, which has attracted a large audience these days, surpassed even the statistics of GTA 5 on the PC platform by crossing the border of 400,000 simultaneous players on Steam.
Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Studios, achieved another remarkable achievement. By registering a record of 409,367 active players on the Steam platform, this game surpassed extremely popular games such as GTA 5 , which recorded a record of 364,548 active players almost 9 years ago. Previously, it was announced that the number of simultaneous players of this game surpassed the big modern games such as Starfield and Destiny 2 to force its developers to increase the maximum capacity of the number of players due to the overcrowding of the game's servers.
Last time, the creators of the game announced in an official message to the players that the capacity of the servers to serve simultaneous players on both the computer and PlayStation platforms has increased from 5 to 450 thousand people. 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 has been in development for more than 8 years at Arrowhead Studio and as of February 11, 2024, it has sold about one million copies to its users. While the overall sales figures for the game so far are expected to be higher, Arrowhead has already decided to expand its game development team for future content.
The creators of this game previously announced that they had a predetermined roadmap for the content in front of it, but due to the extensive changes that have occurred in the eyes of the publisher and investors of this game, they are preparing a new plan for this purpose. . Helldivers 2 is available now for PC and PlayStation 5. This game has cross-platform multiplayer and may bring cross-progression to users in the future.
Of course, despite the number of players who welcomed it, this issue has not yet been confirmed. Helldivers 2 marked the biggest launch of Sony's first-party games on Steam, surpassing the likes of God of War and Marvel's Spider-Man.
