Just over a week ago, we reported that Helldivers 2 managed to hit an incredible Steam concurrent player count high of 100,000 players. Well, that’s not only old news, but that number has been obliterated. Arrowhead Game Studios has revealed that (for now) the Helldivers 2 concurrent player peak has managed to hit 500,000!
This was revealed by Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt in answering a fan on Twitter/X:
Yeah the CCU in-game hovered around 500k at peak

Not only that, but the game established a new Steam all-time high of 345,759 today (via Steam Charts)! This blows past the former high of 100K, and will be a hard number to beat for any PlayStation release on PC.
Bear in mind, the game is still having server issues. Imagine if this didn’t have any problem at all. This number could reach even higher. Hopefully, the devs can sustain this momentum with good word of mouth, and if possible a steady trickle of post-launch content, of which, the devs promised we’ll see plenty of — and for free!
For those still on the fence, head on over here for our in-depth review.

The games pretty cool when it actually works, im kinda curious how can reviewers write reviews when the majority of the time the servers don’t work.
