Arrowhead Game Studios has released Helldivers 2 update 1.000.004 on PS5, and this is the same patch that was released on PC yesterday. This brings matchmaking improvements, crash fixes and more, though don’t expect everything to be fixed with this patch alone.

Helldivers 2 Update 1.000.004 Patch Notes:

Overview

For this patch, our major areas of focus were:

• Resolving crashes.
• Improving matchmaking functionality.

Fixes

The following issues have been fixed for this version.

• Resolved crashes when pressing ESC to open the menu, or O to open the social tab.
• Game no longer crashes after matchmaking.
• General improvements to matchmaking.
• Resolved crashes after interacting with the Armory before their first dive.
• Solved crash-to-desktop when equipping the MP-98 Knight.

Known Issues

• These are issues that were either introduced by this patch and are being worked on, or are from a previous version and have not yet been fixed.

According to Game Director Mikael Eriksson, a full matchmaking solution is in the works, but it will take “a few more days” to test and deploy, so expect another patch this coming week on both platforms.

You can check out the list of known issues being worked on by Arrowhead right here. Don’t forget, this is but the first of many title updates, as the studio promised us a steady stream of new content and all for free.
